Sew An Adorable, Homemade Christmas Day Dress
For kids, Christmas is all about celebrating the holiday in festive outfits and exchanging presents. Combine the two and craft your child a homemade dress for them to wear on Christmas day!

With the festive season looming, everyone reaches for their favourite Christmas movies and stories to commemorate the holiday season. Movies and stories based off Dr. Seuss's 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' have been fan favourite holiday tales for generations! Commemorate the Christmas grump this festive period with a Grinch-themed DIY Christmas outfit. Using the Simplicity S9934 Girls' Skirt Pattern as a guide, you can create an adorable kid's Christmas skirt with the Dr. Seuss Enterprises Grinchmas Baubles Quilting Fabric. Complete the look by ironing the Dr. Seuss Enterprises Grinch Definitely Naughty Iron On Transfer onto a plain white t-shirt and create an adorable coordinating Grinch set.

With these fabrics and patterns such as the Simplicity S3013 Toddlers' Hooded T-Shirt Pattern or the McCall's M6915 Girls' Dress Pattern, you can recreate these fun and festive looks.
There's nothing worse than leaving your DIY outfits to the night before a party, but iron on transfers take the stress away from rushing to create a Christmas outfit. If you're new to the world of DIY, Christmas iron on transfers makes it easy to create homemade holiday looks, with no sewing required! At Spotlight you can shop from a range of different festive themed Christmas iron on transfers. All you need is a plain (and clean) t-shirt, an iron, an ironing board and a cloth and you can seamlessly transfer the design to your t-shirt for a fun and festive ensemble! Follow any provided instructions and always make sure to leave your iron out of reach of children.
