I’ve enjoyed making these simple scrappy Christmas Baubles for years. But I’ve recently had a lot of people asking how I made them. They are such a quick and easy project to put together. There’s no sewing required, you only need the tiniest fabric scraps and they’re a perfect holiday craft to try with the […]
Christmas Inspiration from Molly and Mama
Christmas creeps up on me every year, despite my plans to be more organised and to plan out my Christmas sewing more effectively. Do you feel the same way? So this year, I thought I would create a list of all of my Christmas tutorials and patterns so I could choose my favourites. And then […]
A Merry And Bright Christmas Stocking And A New Sew Along
Living in Australia, we never get to experience that traditional cold and snowy Christmas enjoyed by our Northern Hemisphere friends. Perhaps that’s why we have something called Christmas in July? A roast with all the trimmings, a Christmas pudding and mulled wine all just make more sense in Winter. And it’s kind of fun to […]
Christmas Cracker Table Runner for Thermoweb

But it does feel odd singing about the snow, thinking about hot chocolates by the fire […]

Christmas in July Sewing Patterns
There’s something special about celebrating Christmas in July in Australia. We finally get to really enjoy a roast dinner with all the trimmings, some mulled wine and a warm plum pudding, without sweltering in the summer sun! And if I’m going to go to all the trouble of celebrating Christmas dinner twice a year, then […]
