More than 25 Cute Things to Sew for Christmas
Looking for some adorable holiday decorations or gifts? Check out our list of over 25 cute and festive sewing projects for Christmas! If you like these projects, check out this roundup of 20+ Christmas stockings to sew!

One of my favorite things about Christmas is the opportunity to create fun and unique Christmas crafts and decorations.
This year, I am bound and determined to get ahead of myself regarding Christmas decorating and crafting. I’ve boldly decided to skip Thanksgiving decorating (not Thanksgiving) and go right from Halloween to Christmas.
Believe it or not, I agonized over that decision (yep, it’s a total first-world problem, I get that). My current plan is to have my Christmas tree up and the house decorated before Thanksgiving. That way, I can spend the rest of the Holidays relaxing with my family. I do not want to have a “to-do” list a mile long on December 1st.
What Can I Sew with Christmas Fabric?
Looking for something fun to sew with Christmas fabrics? Popular options include quilted table runners, cozy holiday stockings, decorative throw pillows, and reusable gift bags.
You could make festive fabric ornaments, a tree skirt, or even cheerful holiday placemats for a personal touch. Christmas fabric can also transform into thoughtful gifts like fabric coasters, pot holders, and small zippered pouches into holiday-themed gifts!
25+ Christmas Sewing Projects
I’ve also started my Christmas sewing. I have a fun stash of Christmas fabric and am always looking for ideas for Christmas-themed projects to sew.
I thought you might also be looking for cute Christmas projects, so I’ve rounded up more than 25 cute things I’ve discovered online recently.
Most of these are free tutorials, but some are paid patterns. I don’t mind supporting independent pattern designers and figured you guys wouldn’t mind either!
