Sew-a-Saint: St. Joseph the Carpenter (Fabric)

St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, is perhaps one of the most known individuals in scripture, but one we know the least about. Not a single quote from him exists in scripture, and not much mention of him exists beyond the messages he received in the form of dreams and his loyalty to his wife, Mary.

In this fabric, St. Joseph stands against a wood grain background, a testament to his job as a carpenter. In one hand he holds a lily, symbolizing integrity in his earthly marriage to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the other hand he holds tools of his trade – a hammer – and in his pocket is an angle.

These plush dolls are absolutely beginner friendly, and can be sewn by hand or with a machine. Hand drawn, each comes printed on a fat-quarter of fabric and is ready to sew. Instructions are printed on the fabric, ensuring you’ll know how to make it as soon as it arrives in your mailbox.
