| Baby Jesus |
Last Christmas when my grandkids were at our house, they were fascinated by my different nativity sets. I decided that for this Christmas they needed their own set to play with. Because they also like playing with magnets on their refrigerator I decided to combine the two. This
set from Designs by JuJu was perfect.

| Stitching |
 |
| What the screen looked like |
I hooped large pieces of felt with my magnetic hoops and then on the screen of my machine I placed several designs. I made sure there was plenty of space in between them so I would have a nice border around them when sewing on the backs.
 |
| Oops, outline off |
I did have some oops moments with the stitching, like the outline being off. I tried not sewing the sheep's body as I was stitching unto white felt but I didn't like how it looked.

| Jewel's Tape |
 |
| Ready for the magnet |
 |
| Magnet taped in place |
I bought some
small magnets from Amazon to use on the figures. I used a small square of Jewel's Tape on the back and then adhered the magnet. This was to ensure that they didn't move around.
 |
| Stitching on the back |
I placed another piece of felt on the back and then stitched close to the edge of the design. This sandwiched the magnet in place to keep it safe from the little ones. I then trimmed close to the stitching.
 |
| All finished |
 |
| Having fun |
I did make multiple sheep including doing a mirror image for one of them. I placed them in the circle basket I had made earlier and then shipped them off to the grandkids. My daughter-in-law sent me this cute photo of them playing with them. What a fun project.
