Advent Calendar Fabric Panels
An alternative to an advent calendar kit to sew is to create your own kit with an Advent Calendar Fabric Panel. Get some batting and binding and use the pre-printed fabric to create a special advent calendar.
Here are my favourite advent calendar fabric panels:
The Grinch Advent Calendar Panel
The kids will love this Grinch fabric advent calendar panel, although you may want to use a ribbon to tether the little Grinch doll to the calendar. Knowing my kids, it's likely to wander off!
Scandi Town
Scandi Town is a gorgeous red-and-white winter scene. It looks so magical with Santa and his reindeer flying through the sky.
It’s been years since I made our reusable family Advent Calendar and it’s so special to pull it out each year.
