Product Description
A Light and Traditional Take on a Christmas Classic
Advent Calendar Panel from the The Nutcracker Collection
Count down to Christmas with a handmade Advent calendar inspired by the storybook world of The Nutcracker. This cream version of The Nutcracker Advent Calendar Panel from Makower UK combines traditional festive imagery with a lighter background, allowing the intricate characters, foliage and Christmas motifs to take centre stage.
At the heart of the calendar stands the unmistakable Nutcracker soldier, surrounded by ballerinas, toy soldiers, rocking horses, decorated Christmas trees, wrapped presents and candy canes. Rich reds and greens provide the classic Christmas colour palette, while touches of pale blue, pink and warm gold add detail and contrast against the soft cream ground. The 24 numbered pockets are individually decorated with coordinating stars, foliage and ornamental motifs, creating plenty to discover as Christmas approaches.
Everything needed for the decorative front and pockets is incorporated into the printed panel, with sewing instructions printed directly onto the fabric. Simply cut out the numbered pocket pieces from the lower portion, prepare them following the printed instructions and stitch them onto the main calendar to create 24 pockets for sweets, little gifts, messages or other December surprises.
For a beautifully finished calendar, add wadding and a coordinating backing fabric to give the piece structure before quilting and finishing the edges. Fabrics from The Nutcracker Collection are a natural choice for backing, binding and hanging loops. The collection's candy cane stripes, stars, festive foliage and coordinating Christmas prints make it easy to create a cohesive finish while adding your own details.
Printed on 100% cotton at approximately 145gsm, the complete panel measures approximately 24" x 44". Once sewn, it becomes a reusable fabric Advent calendar that can form part of the family's Christmas decorations for many Decembers to come. It also makes a thoughtful handmade Christmas gift, particularly for children, families and anyone with a fondness for the traditional magic of The Nutcracker.
