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:

Felt Nativity Scene Sewing Pattern
For a nativity scene that the kids can play with, make the felt nativity set from Do Small Things with Love.
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 nativity felt set with patterns and instructions is this one from Sewing Box Crafts. It’s another cute one that the kids can play with.
