Christmas Advent Calendar

When I say I haven't done anything crafty for the last couple of months, that isn't entirely true.

I started this advent calender over 4 years ago. It has absolutely plagued me! It didn't seem that involved when I started, but attaching sequins isn't exactly the quickest process. I had some other sewing projects that I needed to start (and I don't like having more than one going at a time) so I spent as much free time as I could on it and I FINALLY GOT IT DONE!



While I'm kind of sick of looking at it for the time being, I actually do think it turned out pretty cute. I love the santa.



There is a pocket for each day leading up to Christmas and a little stuffed toy that goes in each pocket.



And then a large pocket at the bottom to keep all of the stuffed toys as they are removed. Pretty clever!



The kit can be found here.

  2. Thanks Carol! I would say I would make you one too but I probably wouldn't get it done until E was in college... :)
