Sewing for Christmas

What says Christmas better than a handmade decoration? Or hanging up a stocking you have created yourself? This book has 30 sewing projects to get you in a festive mood.

However you celebrate Christmas and whatever your family traditions, there is something for everyone: tree decorations, tiny advent calendar stockings, a garland, cosy slippers, table runners, teddies, a wreath, a Scandi pillow and hanging decorations.

This collection of homemade sewing gifts taken from the best-selling Love to Sew series is perfect to decorate your home, give as gifts or make with the children in the holidays.

With a techniques section complemented by instructions and photographs for each project, you have everything you need to get going. Full-size templates are provided in a handy pocket containing two fold-out sheets.
