Start the countdown! Sewing these perennial advent calendars is a lovely project and they’re suitable for the young and young-at-heart. It’s a great way to have a more sustainable Christmas as they can be reused year after year - just top up the chocolates! New designs are due in from mid-June onwards. It’s a bumper year, with 7 new designs and we start with 14 Advent designs, 4 Stockings and this year, we also have a bunting panel.

All advents are priced per panel. The sewing by hand or machine is simple (instructions are on each panel). With the ‘super easy” calendars, you simply fold up the pockets and stitch into place. If ordering another fabric for the backing/binding/sleeve (or bunting backing), add 1 metre (4 units) to your basket. And if you’d like a coordinating thread, just choose your size and we’ll do the rest. Top tip! - it’s a good idea to match the thread to your backing/binding fabric.

We also have several designs made up as finished quilts. These are handmade and ready to hang on the wall.

If you’re looking for stockings - the panels can make a stocking with printed designs on both sides, or use another fabric on the reverse and sew double the quantity. If unsure on quantities, just give us a call on 01634 838880.

Plus: we also have a ‘finishing pack’. This contains enough Thermolam wadding and solid backing/binding/sleeve fabric (1m) to complete one advent calendar. We’ll select the best colour solid to coordinate with your calendar panel.

Instore, we also have complete kits with wadding, backing fabric and thread, plus other advent designs, where we only have one or two panels left in stock.
