Every year, I buy those cheap chocolate advent calendars for the kids, but, this year I decided to sew an advent calendar and put my own treats in for each day. I wasn't sure if this was going to be too big a task, but I surprised myself.
I found a great fabric panel that already had nice squares for pockets. I just had to cut out each individual square, iron little seams down each side, and then sew them on the red panel. A little time consuming, but I'm very happy with the results. Take a peek...
I'm not sure what I'm going to do exactly for the numbers of each day. I may just take some ribbon and hang the number on each pocket and after the kids get their chocolate, they can tuck the number in the pocket and they can see how many days until Christmas.
Here's a close up of some of the pockets.

Wow that turned out nice. What a good idea finding material with blocks already on it. What did the kids think of it?
The kids love it. They get chocolate every morning before breakfast!
