Felt Advent Calendar

a free pattern showcasing the Holiday Cheer Hand or Machine Embroidery Collection

Count the days until Christmas with a fun felt advent calendar. This pattern comes together quickly and you decide what designs to feature on the pockets!

ADVENT CALENDAR DESIGN OPTIONS

Opt for our Holiday Cheer Hand Embroidery Kit, which includes a digital booklet full of ten patterns and reference materials, a sheet of Sulky Felty™, printed designs on Stick ‘n Stitch, and TEN spools of Sulky Cotton petites™ Thread.

Or, choose machine embroidery and grab our Holiday Cheer Machine Embroidery Collection, which contains the ten designs digitized for 40 wt. Rayon Thread.

The Holiday Cheer Palette comes with the collection AND 10 spools of Sulky Rayon Thread. Merge the design motifs with numbers and either place them consecutively or in a random pattern to make it more of a game for the littles.

Stitch the designs onto high quality felt, with a coordinating cotton print and sweet trim. Note: Sulky Felty™ sheets are not large enough for the background fabric, so choose polyester or wool-blend felt by the yard. If desired, Felty is suitable for the pockets, but several sheets are needed.
