This is a PATTERN for a beautiful, heirloom quality Christmas Advent Calendar that can be reused year after year. This pattern is a .pdf file and includes all instructions necessary to make this wall hanging with a Christmas tree and 24 pockets as well as 24 unique felt ornaments. Remove one from a pocket each day of advent and hang on the felt tree. By Christmas Eve your tree will be fully decorated! THIS IS NOT FOR A COMPLETED ADVENT CALENDAR! You are purchasing a PATTERN so you can make it yourself. Pattern will be available to download upon completion of purchase. The pattern is 26 pages long and includes a complete materials list, full color photos of each ornament as well as color photos of key steps. Full instructions for all steps to make wall hanging and ornaments is included as well as 11 pages of full-size pattern pieces for all parts of the advent calendar. Completed advent calendar is approximately 23 inches by 40 inches, not including hanging loops. Advent Calendar is designed to be made from felt. Ornaments are hand-sewn using basic hand-sewing and embroidery stitches. The wall hanging with tree and pockets is designed to be machine-sewn though this is due to the size, not difficulty, and some customers report that they choose to hand sew the entire thing. Pattern includes a link to online tutorials of all stitches used in this pattern. This pattern provides endless opportunities to customize it for your family. Embroider names on ornaments to give each family member their own special one or make multiples of favorite ornaments. Embellish with sequins, buttons or any trim that you may have on hand. Color choices are endless and you can make an advent calendar to suit any decor you desire. This pattern does include two religious ornaments- an angel and baby Jesus. If you prefer to omit them, simply make additional ornaments of another design- maybe stockings for each family member or a pair of mittens instead of just one. Difficulty: This is designed for an advanced beginner to intermediate sewist. An enthusiastic and determined beginner could also complete it, especially with modifications. This pattern can be almost endlessly modified, from omitting some embroidery and embellishments on the ornaments to making the bottom edges of the tree a little less wavy. Some customers even use fabric paint to put the numbers on the pockets instead of embroidering. Link to download pattern will be available upon completion of purchase. Merry Christmas!

December seems to sneak up on me every year, which wouldn’t be too worrisome except it means that I never seem to have my advent calendar ready in time. Actually, to be fair, last year was the first year we decide to do an advent calendar. But I was late then and I can already …
Happy Monday! I'm so excited to share my finished advent calendar today! I had intended on making this back in September/October but time got away from me and I only just finished it yesterday, whoops! I love advent calendars. The one we had as a kid was a hanging one that was a fleece/felt tree that had a little stuffed ornament that attached with velcro each day. My brother and I would take turns getting to put them on each day leading up to Christmas. I've had a few different calendars over the years, but I've been wanting to make one with little bags or pockets to put different things in for a long time. The last couple years I bought a Disney Tsum Tsum plush advent calendar, but since they aren't making those anymore I decided it was finally time to take matters into my own hands and make my dream advent calendar! Here is the advent calendar I made a few years ago: Pretty in Patchwork Holidays: Advent Calendar. For the last two weeks I've been working on making 24 drawstring bags for my new advent calendar! I put off making this calendar because I thought it would take too long to make, but honestly it went a lot faster than I expected. I made them all assembly line style so that helped save a lot of time! Regardless, I'm happy it's done, and I can't wait to start opening them tomorrow. I used both the original lined drawstring bag pattern and the lined drawstring bag expansion pattern to make these. They're all the tiny size (smallest size in the pattern) and I used the easy going variation for an all solid exterior. I figured cutting out the accents would save me some extra time! Find the patterns in my online shop here: Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern Lined Drawstring Bag Expansion Pattern Thought I'd do a little run down of how I made it. I know it's too late for this year, but maybe for next year if you'd like to make one. I chose nine fabrics from my stash in three colors. I love adding pink into Christmas projects to give them a little bit of a vintage feel. I kept the linings simple and just used muslin. For the numbers on the bags I used iron-on foil*. It's hard to tell in photos, but it's rose gold in person! I used my Cricut Maker* to cut the numbers. I had never cut or applied anything like this before, so there was a bit of a learning curve. Once I got the hang of it though, it went pretty fast. Now I my wheels are turning for what else I can use this foil on! It was very satisfying to apply. The Cricut Maker was gifted to me in 2018 by Cricut. I shared most of the process of making these bags on my Instagram Stories, they're all save in a highlight if you'd like to see, I'm @jenib320 there. I'm trying to post more on my stories, we'll see if I can keep it up! I finished the bags off with paracord, which seemed like the quickest option. I wasn't sure how I wanted to display the bags at first. I tried hanging them on two different small trees, but wasn't happy with how it looked. I ended up with this simple dowel + ribbon (I used twill) option, and I really like it! It perfectly fills this spot between our fireplace and the window. I filled the bags with ornaments, so I'll get to stretch decorating the tree out over the whole month! I buy most of my paracord from Bored Paracord* on Etsy. It was fun to try something new for this project and a good reminder to myself that I should do that more often. I don't know why I waited so long to try the iron-on! It wasn't hard and it really added something to this project in particular. Especially since I am so often thinking about or writing instructions whether it be tutorials or patterns, it's good for me to be a beginner again at something and get out of my comfort zone. I am definitely going to keep that in mind when deciding on my craft goals for 2021. I know this is going to be a bit of a strange holiday season, since we aren't going home for Christmas. I'm letting myself indulge in all the holiday activities, including this advent calendar to try to keep cheerful. There is still a lot to be thankful for!
