Patchwork Advent Calendar

Hello

I was floating around Blogland and came upon this lovely project sewalong to do by Sarah at A Little Happy Place 

Had a gorgeous Moda scrap bag but the fabric was only 2.5 inches wide and I needed 3.5 inches for the pockets so I joined 2 strips together.  I didn't have any light fabric for the background so mine turned out totally different to Sarah's.  I was determined just to use fabric I had.

I went to the Knit and Stitch Show at Harrogate so treated myself to 24 little gifts to put in it.  Some were a tight squeeze, I should have thought this out more when buying them!  Put some chocs in for my other half so the pockets are bit heavy which made the calendar sag abit.  It did hang straight before filling but hey, who cares when there are goodies in there!  It will straighten out again half way through the month.

There are little bells on it as well so it sounds like Xmas and I will know if anyone tries to take the chocs when they shouldn't!

So a happy Dec with a pressy a day.  Yeah

Thank you Sarah for a delightful sewalong.

Cheers
Sharon
