Sewing for Christmas
A NOTE FROM ME

There’s something very special about decorating your home with things you’ve made yourself.

In this course, we’ll sew a whole collection of Christmas pieces together: ornaments, stockings, a scalloped tree skirt, a house advent calendar and more. You’ll pick up new techniques as you go, and finish with decorations you’ll look forward to unpacking every December.

Sewing for your own home, making gifts, or just carving out some creative time in the festive rush? There’s something here for you.

What You'll Make

Fabric Ornaments

Candy canes, bells, trees and mistletoe for your tree or your gifts.

Advent Calendar

A house-shaped calendar with individual pockets, ready to fill and bring out every year.

Tree Skirt

Make a double-sided, in three sizes and two complementary fabrics.

Chain Garland

A reusable chain with Velcro closures, and a lovely way to use up scraps.

Fabric Bows

Make in three sizes, for the tree, gifts, wreaths or anywhere that needs a festive flourish.

Star Gift Bags

Star-shaped bags with velvet ribbon closures. Re-usable and more special than wrapping paper.

Woven Stocking

Learn to weave ribbon into richly textured fabric, then turn it into a stocking.

Ruffle Stocking

Learn to add a ruffle and create a pretty gathered detail.

Santa Sacks

Create personalised gift sacks with a contrasting detail ready for gifting.

READY TO MAKE SOME CHRISTMAS MAGIC?

I truly believe the things we make ourselves become some of the most special things we own.

It’s not about a perfect tree or a magazine-worthy home. It’s about slowing down, making something with your hands and building little traditions along the way. 

The decorations you sew this year might be the ones your family treasures for decades.
