I am looking for a simple Advent Calendar pattern to sew or make. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe a site I go to. I take careof my grandkids (2 yrs and five yrs.) alot and I thought it would be a fun thing for them.

Did you try the Moda Bakeshop? They have a pattern on there. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/12/...t-pockets.html

here's a really cute one and it's free http://kameleonquilt.com/freepattern...ntcalendar.pdf

Years ago my mom made one for my kids it was a large tree on a piece of fabric with 25 small pockets at the top the tree had 25 beads sewn on it. the ornaments were all hand made and one was in each pocket. over the years some were lost so I replaced some with the mini tree ornaments from Dollar Tree. Although my kids are now grown they still ask for it and I put it up each year the last ornament was always the star at the top.

We have a really cute panel that makes up into an Advent Calendar, just add backing: http://www.quilt-kits-online.com/pro...hp?prod=F673-1
