Easy Advent Pillow - DIY Sewing Tutorial

A handmade Advent calendar doesn’t have to be a complicated project!  Heather Handmade shows how you can sew this easy Advent pillow.  Count down the days till Christams by moving the marker from one numbered pocket to another.  The pockets are easy to sew because they’re made from strips of ribbon.  Smart!  And the marker is connected to the pillow with a ribbon so you won’t have to worry about it getting lost.

Sew Liberated Sewing Pattern – Arenite Pants

I was excited to try out the Arenite Pants pattern from Sew Liberated. And I have to say, I was not disappointed! The pants turned out exactly as described – deep-pocketed, slouchy, and incredibly versatile. I was also impressed by the level of detail in the instructions. The pattern included instructions for French seams, flat-felled seams, and a non-twist elastic waistband, making the final product feel like a well-crafted, made-to-last item.

I appreciated that the pattern was suitable for advanced beginners, as I am still learning the ins and outs of sewing pants. The fit was very forgiving, and I was able to get a great result even with my limited experience. I also appreciated the three leg finishing options – knit cuff, elasticated woven cuff, or a dressier hem – as it allowed me to customize the pants to my own taste.

The suggested fabric, raw silk noil or summery lyocell, made for a luxurious and comfortable pair of pants. I loved the end result and I receive many compliments every time I wear them. I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking to add a new versatile and cozy item to their wardrobe.
