Does anyone know where I can find patterns or designs for Gingerbread men? I want to make cloth dolls, a swag, stitcheries or cushions with a Gingerbread Man theme.... any information would be greatly appreciated.
My searches are bringing up a lot of gingerbread recipes but little else.
Hi Raggedymom:
I have a poem and instructions for a Gingerbreadman Garland for you. The poem is;
~~Gingerbread Friends~~
These special little Gingerbread people
were made with you in mind...
Because you are a special friend and,
oh so very kind...
Just string them accross your fireplace
at Christmas time each year...
Then sit back and enjoy the sight, and
know your're very dear...

I used the above pattern, and instructions, and changed them to gingerbread men and ladies!!
I hope you can use this idea, and if you use the poem, please give me the credit for it.
Thanks and have a great day!

I've just asked my crafting discussion list to come up with a bunch of links for you, but there's also these that I made last Christmas, hope you like them!
Thank you so much for these links, I truly appreciate your help!
Babs - that poem is beautiful - you've got a flair for writing by the sounds of it. I have just had a look at the website with the snowman, and discovered that they also have a gingerbread garland too, so I have two lovely patterns to use now! Thanks!
Amanda - thank you for your help, it's wonderful knowing you can post here on your site, and there's usually someone out there who knows where to find just what you're chasing!
I hope I can reciprocate in due course and help others!
You are quite welcome, you better post pictures when you make something LOL! Here's some more from the ladies on my crafting list, there will be more to come!
I haven't had a chance to look at the other links yet, Amanda, but the flower pot gingerbread men is just toooo cute. I'm definitely going to try that one.
Thanks mama! I actually did a second set for my MIL that came out way cuter in my opinion, but I didn't get a pic of those before she ran them off to Iowa LOL
Hi Raggedymom:
Thanks for the compliment about my poem, I appreciate the thumbs up every now and again. I also saw the other gingerbread man garland on the wrights web site, but I love working with the EZ felt, and I was just too lazy to stuff them.
lol ~~take care Babs~~~
Amanda
Thanks for those site, all the projects are wonderful, thanks for sharing, I added them to my favorites.
Oh yes and thank you for the beautiful mother's day card.
