  £23

It's time to get a head start on your Christmas preparations, and this 'sew your own advent' kit is the perfect way to get you in the mood for the festivities! This is the perfect way to add a personal touch to your festive season.
The panel is called Bright & Jolly and is from Dashwood Studio, which is a UK-based textile design company. The panel is cute and vibrant and features 25 festive-themed pockets. This advent can be reused year after year, creating lasting memories. Take some time for yourself to sew this in an afternoon, or make it into a social affair and sew with friends.
New to sewing? Don't worry! I will include some easy-to-follow instructions to help.
This is a perfect project for anyone who enjoys being creative. You can give it as a gift or gift the finished product to someone special.

I’m Sasha, the owner of NicePomPoms, a creative business I run from my home in Brighton. When I moved here I took sewing lessons because I couldn’t find a fancy dress costume for an ABBA night. I hate waste and I didn’t want to buy something that wouldn’t last the night, so I made my own dress, which I still have now! It turned out great and I really loved creating something different.
Over the years I have dabbled in lots of different craft disciplines, such as screen printing, freehand embroidery, and string art. My background is teaching secondary school Science but in 2020 I decided to leave teaching and focus on spreading joy through colourful crafting. I love sharing my knowledge and skills with others and encouraging people to tap into their creativity. I LOVE animals and nature, which you’ll gather from my craft kits and the fabrics I use in my sewing projects.
I make craft kits that come with detailed instructions and will also be teaching a range of sewing projects for people to enjoy.
