Buildable Winter Felt Wreath | Christmas Sewing Pattern

Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps

Download Debbie Shore’s wreath sewing pattern – a festive felt project for intermediate sewers.

Create a beautiful handmade winter wreath with Debbie Shore’s sewing pattern, perfect for adding a festive touch to your home! This delightful wreath is packed with charming Christmas motifs, including snowmen, gingerbread houses, bearded gonks, twinkling stars and more.

It’s all hand-sewn, which I find makes it a nice project to work on when relaxing in an evening. I’ve used wool-mix felt as it’s soft to work with, and a wire wreath that I’ve covered in felt strips. However, a twig or willow wreath would also look stunning!

The most cost-effective way of buying materials is to choose a pre-cut pack of roughly 12in (30.5cm) felt squares and a bundle of embroidery threads in different colours. I’ve listed all the colours I’ve used in the materials below, so when you choose your pack, you can look for a similar range. Of course, you can choose whatever colours you wish to use, and add as many trees, stars, houses, gnomes and snowmen as you like! And if you find it as fun to stitch as I did, you can make Christmas-tree decorations from the patterns, too.

Note: Use two strands of embroidery thread unless otherwise stated.

• 12 x 12in (30.5 x 30.5cm) of rust-coloured felt
