Advent Calendar – Sale!

posted in sewing |

I created this Advent Calendar wall hanging using pre-printed cotton fabric. The finished size is approx. 28″ long x 21″ wide. Each of the 24 pockets is trimmed in metallic gold thread and are ready for small surprises to be stashed inside. The entire calendar is machine quilted with a polyester batting in between the fabric layers.

This Advent Calendar is for sale for $20 plus shipping.  If you are interested in the hanging rod, it is priced at $18.

If interested, please leave a comment and we will go from there.  :-D

    Hello,

    This is gorgeous…I have been searching for an advent calendar for years. I have always been a fan of the Pottery Barn ones, but yours is gorgeous and I would rather have it be one of a kind! I honestly can’t believe you are only charging $20 for your craft. I would love to have it for my little one! Please let me know how to go about the transaction.

    Thanks,

    Shawna

    Thank you Ellen! You are so sweet! This project wasn’t too difficult, except for dealing with the metallic thread. Once I got that down, it went fairly smoothly. This particular Advent Calendar has sold. :-D

    Debbie – Thanks so much! I’m not overly fond of hand sewing, but I can certainly see how it would be great to create one of these while traveling. Good luck with yours and I’m sure it will be beautiful. :-D

    Hello- My husband and I would like to purchase your calendar. We couldn’t figure out if this was a kit or bought pre-made? We really love it and would like it for this Holiday Season if you are still selling. Please respond.
    Thanks

    Thank you for stopping by! I make the Advent calendar myself. The fabric is 100% quilt quality cotton and machine pieced by me. I use a polyester thread for all stitching and quilting and a gold thread for all top stitching. A polyester batting is layered inside for softness.
    The price for a completed calendar is $20 + shipping. If you let me know your shipping info, I can give you exact shipping costs.
    I accept payment via PayPal.
    Thank you again and I will wait to hear from you. :-D
