When it gets dark and cold in the wintertime, it is great to have a cosy hobby that you can to enjoy inside with candlelights burning. It is the perfect time to grab your sewing kit and start making Christmas gifts for the family, or perhaps some nice things for yourself.
Permin advent calendar and Christmas tree skirt
In the month of December, many people have advent calendars that they open each day until Christmas, and these calendars can be made in various ways. You could, for instance, make an embroidered advent calendar. One which could be passed down through generations. A homemade calendar is made with love and can contain so many memories of the children’s joyful anticipation and eagerness to see what it holds.
There are plenty of motifs and patterns to choose from when deciding on how your calendar should look. Perhaps you would like a motif of father Christmas, or maybe you would like a bunch of little cheeky Christmas elves, who have rearranged the dates in the calendar. Or maybe you would like to create a calendar just for the four Sundays of advent. You can customize it however you like!
A lot of people also make use of tree skirts for their Christmas trees, and it is wonderful to see the many different motifs that appear on these skirts. Some might want to have their tree skirt tell a story about Christmas with pretty illustrations, and some might want a nice motif of Father Christmas and a big pile of Christmas presents. The Christmas tree skirt is something that decorates our home all throughout the month of December, and for some perhaps even longer.
You can also find embroidery fabric and embroidery yarn.
