Here is an Advent Calendar wall hanging that I dreamed up from a pretty charm pack. I am sharing this to inspire you to try your own. No pattern, just putting it together step-by-step. This one is intended to hang on a door. I will fill it with candy, cosmetics, gift cards, etc.
Lay out 6 rows of 4 squares. I mixed mine up. NBD
Sew each row of 4 together. Hem the top and add a 2 1/2" strip on the bottom.
Lay our your 6 strips on a lining. My borders are about 1 1/2 " after overlapping
Sew the horizontal rows which form the bottom of each little pocket.
Sew the vertical rows, completing each pocket.
Trim the sides and add a border, My green strips are all 2 1/'2"wide. I used most of a 1/2 yard for the borders.
I want the bows on each box to be about the same size. I tie them this way.
Each box-pocket will look like a gift. Now for backing & binding. I'm not adding batting, because it will be too heavy (loaded w gifts!) I'll post a photo when it is done.
