Sew your own Christmas Nativity
Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with these Christmas Nativity sewing patterns. From finger puppets to quilt nativity scene patterns, start your Christmas sewing now.
Christmas is right around the corner, and I’m getting ready to pull out my decorations. It’s easy to get caught up in the tinsel and baubles, and lose sight of the meaning of Christmas. That’s why I like to include a nativity scene in my decorating. The kids like to play with the characters, and retell the story of Christmas (or create their own wonderful stories). It gives a greater connection to what Christmas is all about.
I love handmade Christmas decorations, and here are my favourite Christmas nativity scene sewing patterns:

For a nativity scene that the kids can play with, make the felt nativity set from Do Small Things with Love.
How wonderful is this Nativity scene baby mobile! Such a different way to display your nativity. You could also use the individual pieces as bunting or ornaments.
This Nativity pattern bundle from Elliot’s Playground includes 8 patterns to sew up this colorful Nativity scene, with lots of adorable details. The pieces are free standing and would be perfect for little hands acting out the nativity.
The patterns are also available individually.
Away in a Manger is a gorgeous pattern by Sew Thimble Wood. How detailed is Joseph’s coat? It includes SVG files, so you can use a Cricut or other cutting machine to cut out your pieces.
An advent calendar is great way to discuss with your family the details of the nativity scene, talking about a part of it each day in the lead up to Christmas. The Felt nativity advent calendar sewing pattern by the Lullaby Loft has lots of lovely details.
Another freestanding doll option is this Nativity set by BuggaBugs. It includes Joseph, Mary, Jesus, the Wise Men, a shepherd and the manger.
Nativity scene quilt patterns
Oh Little Town by Sew Kind of Wonderful is such a whimsical quilt design, with its slightly abstract designs. The sandy background really captures the desert.
This Nativity Quilt pattern from Counted Quilts is a simple but striking design. The pattern comes in 3 sizes and uses rectangles, half square triangles and a few half rectangle triangles.
Oh Holy Night is a beautiful stained glass nativity quilt pattern by Bear Paw Productions.
I love this nativity wall hanging quilt pattern from Paper Panache. It has so many beautiful details. (They also have a simpler pattern with just Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus).
There are multiple gorgeous Nativity quilt projects in the book Applique Nativity Projects by Rachel W. N. Brown.

This “In the hoop” Nativity Finger Puppet set sewing pattern by Jaynie Jaye Designs is so cute and fun. Perfect for little fingers!
A hand-sewn finger puppet option is this Nativity finger puppet set sewing pattern from Floral Blossom.
