Between the brushed texture of the flannel/wool, the contrast of the white stitching and the darling peppermint buttons, these little gingerbread men look just like cookies!
And here's the gingerbread man block that I made for my traditional pillow using a slightly darker brown wool:
You may notice that the buttons that I used for this block are a bit smaller. They're also from JABC, namely the tiny peppermint swirl (sku: nh1067.T).
Have fun making your own gingerbread men and feel free to embellish them as much as you like. I've kept mine pretty simple, but if you search online for gingerbread man cookie images, you'll find a lot of great ideas. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
