AW: My felt advent calendar--finally finished it!

MrsHughesNC · December 2010

It only took me 3 short months. LOL. The pockets are a little crooked, but I'm happy with how it turned out! Each pocket holds a Ghirardelli chocolate square. Holly is enjoying the new tradition already Smile

That's adorable. Congrats on finishing it.

That is awesome. I want an advent calendar so bad but I'm not crafty enough to make one and I refuse to spend $70 on the PBK one.

I love that it holds chocolate... I would probably keep that up all year and just snack out of it.

My plan is all kinds of felt stuff---ornaments, hair clips, calendars, and I might move on to other accessories and felt boards like this... We'll see!

I use a very basic Brother machine. The only things I used it for on this though were sewing the pockets onto the background, sewing a back panel on (so you couldn't see the back of where I embroidered the numbers, etc) and making the sleeves for the dowel rods. The rest I sewed/embroidered by hand (hence it taking me 3 mos!)

Wow. This is awesome. Did you use a pattern?

Thank you! No, I didn't use a pattern. I kind of used this from Land of Nod and this from PB Kids as inspiration. I just made 25 3.5" x 3.5" squares first and decorated them. Then arranged them all like I wanted, then made the dimensions of the rest of it around that.
