SANTA AND HIS FRIENDS ARE COMING – CUT & SEW ADVENT CALENDAR PANEL – 100% COTTON – 112cm x 95.5cm

Create a traditional reusable Christmas advent calendar with this gorgeous Santa and His Friends Are Coming cut-and-sew cotton panel.

The centre features a wonderfully nostalgic Christmas scene with Santa and his sleigh, a team of reindeer, falling snow and festive holly garlands, surrounded by rich red and deep blue with gold-effect detailing.

Around the outside of the panel are all 24 numbered sections needed to create the advent calendar pockets, alternating between festive red and deep blue with gold numbers.

Everything you need to cut from the main fabric is printed directly onto the panel, and the full construction instructions are printed alongside the design.

Once sewn, the numbered sections create individual pockets around the central Santa scene, ready to fill with sweets, chocolates, small gifts, notes or little Christmas surprises year after year.

A lovely sewing project for creating a traditional family advent calendar that can become part of Christmas for years to come.
