Advent Calendar

We have started our "Handmade Holidays" feature here on the Fabric Mill blog.  See that fancy-schmancy graphic over there on top of our sidebar?  That will stay right there through the rest of 2012.  If you click on that button it will take you to all of the posts (past and present) that are Christmas related or could be used as a gift idea for Christmas!  We'll compile all of those posts in one place to make it easy for you to come back and find some great ideas.

And here is our first project to add to our Handmade Holidays list:

This is an Advent Calendar that is made from a panel!  An advent calendar is a must-have Christmas decor item!

The panel is from the Happy Christmas line by Northcott.  We also have some of the coordinating prints so you can choose from those for the backing of the panel.

Here is a photo of the panel - it includes instructions as well as all of the pieces you need to make your own.

I'll show you tomorrow step-by-step how I made mine so you can see just how easy (and quick!) it is.
