1. Countdown to Christmas With a Christmas Advent Quilt
When it comes to Christmas projects, no creation is as wholesome and heartwarming as a homemade quilt. These projects make for moving gifts to a loved one but also bring an additional decorative touch to your home. Offering a twist on traditional quilt projects, this Christmas Advent Quilt Project offers a cosy opportunity to count down to Christmas. Featuring 24 pockets that you can hide extra treats in, introduce a sense of warmth to your Christmas countdown. Ideal for intermediate quilters with a bit of experience under their belt, shop for a range of different Christmas fabrics in classic red, green and white colour tones for a traditional Christmas charm.
New to the world of sewing but wanting to get creative this festive season? Consider recreating our Christmas Fabric Bon Bons Project. This beginner friendly project guides you through how to create bon bons made out of Christmas fabric. Choose your favourite Christmas fabric, or if you're wanting to incorporate these bon bons into your festive table setting, look for fabric that best matches your Christmas decorative theme. After adding your gifts, secure your bon bons in place with a colourful ribbon for the perfect finishing touch.
Christmas stockings are a classic decoration, and these Novelty Fringed Stockings bring a unique touch to these traditional pieces. Instead of traditional colour block designs of red, green or white, these stockings feature a playful fringed detail that draws attention, creating a lively work of art for the festive season. This project not only outlines everything you need to know about piecing together these stockings but also provides helpful templates to help make cutting up your fabric pieces easier! When complete, hang your Christmas stockings from your mantlepiece or doorway and fill with sweet treats like candy canes and Christmas chocolates!
Artificial Christmas trees are designed with a stand for a sturdy base. While functional, these stands are not always in line with your decorative scheme. That's where tree skirts add the perfect finishing touch to your Christmas tree. This Traditional Dresden Tree Skirt Project will have you creating the perfect covering to conceal your Christmas tree stand as well as any cords or wires connected to your Christmas tree decorations. This project is great for intermediate sewists or for beginner crafters looking for their next challenge! Shop for rich red and green patterned Christmas fabric for a stylish Christmas tree skirt that adheres to a classic Christmas colour scheme.
Snuggle up this Christmas with the warmth of a homemade quilt! Perfect as an extra layer of warmth for your bedding or as a DIY gift to a loved one, the Christmas Black Metallics Quilt will bring a cheerful touch to any home. This quilt is comprised of square and rectangular patches in elegant black and white Christmas quilting fabric, accented by gold toned details for a touch of luxury. Gift-giving is a classic Christmas tradition, and this quilt makes for not only a great gift but also works as a fun and festive way to incorporate the spirit of Christmas into your bedding.
Looking for projects that create whimsical decorations while allowing you to showcase your decorative skills? Look no further than our Christmas Osnaburg Trees Project. Ideal for intermediate sewists, this project takes you through how to create these intricate Christmas tree decorations and even includes a handy template. Using your favourite Christmas fabric and hobby fill, the result is a plush decoration ready to display on your benchtop, bookshelf or as part of your Christmas table centrepiece.
Matching decorations allows you to establish a sense of cohesiveness amongst your festive display, helping you create a space that exudes an effortless festive charm.

A fun and unique twist on traditional Christmas tree decorations, these Fabric Star Ornaments are a festive and easy Christmas sewing project for beginner quilters. These stars are made up of 6 diamond shaped pieces of different metallic fabrics for a homely patchwork look. The diamond pieces are hand stitched together and then sewn onto a felt backing. When sewing, make sure to leave an opening so you can fill the stars with hobby fill for a cushiony, plump look. Finish the ornament with a button in the centre to secure the stuffing and stitch a gold cord into one of the downward V-sections so you can display your creation from the branches of your Christmas tree.

Your dining table is often the centre of your festive celebrations. Decorating your dining table is the fun part of preparing a Christmas meal, and a cohesive table setting is key to establishing your Christmas decor theme. The Quilted Christmas Table Setting Project guides you through creating a coordinating selection of table linen, including a table runner and placemat, perfect for any holiday meal! A great project for any beginner quilter, both the table runner and placemats are comprised of different patterned Christmas fabrics for an intricate and artistic table setting.
Don't forget about your furry friend when crafting your Christmas sewing projects! Craft your pet an adorable hiding place for them to play in or a spot for them to nap after a big Christmas dinner with this Christmas Dog Tee Pee Project! Using a variety of Christmas quilting fabrics cut into 4 triangle pieces, this Christmas tee pee showcases a range of cheerful Christmas patterns. Sew your pieces together and create an opening by sewing the last two pieces 1/3 of the way down from the top for an easy entrance and exit point for your dog. To create the structure of the tee pee, place four dowel rods into position under the fabric tee pee and tie together using the natural cord.
Another traditional element of the festive season, Santa sacks are commonly used to hold or carry Christmas gifts. Create a homemade Santa sack for your festive celebrations with the Christmas Tapestry Santa Sack Project for an artistic twist on traditional Santa sacks! An easy project for beginner sewists, all you need to do is sew
two panels of tapestry fabric together, leaving the top edge open. Hem around the top edge to eliminate the raw finish. Create a bow to help tie the Santa sack to secure your gifts while also adding the perfect finishing touch. Whether you're creating a Santa sack to fill with gifts for a family member or carrying all your presents for your friends to a Christmas party, these Santa sacks come in handy throughout the gift giving season!
