Scandi Christmas fabrics for your next sewing project

From tablecloths and napkins to cushion covers and curtains, here you will be able to find a wide variety of good quality Scandinavian fabrics with festive designs that will be perfect for you next Christmas sewing project.

Christmas fabric by the meter

The advantage of buying fabric by the meter is that you can choose just as much as you really need. Make sure to take note of the width of the fabric as this measurement can vary between brands. Feel free to take a little extra in case of unforeseen incidences.

Another factor to take into consideration is the pattern repeat. For example, if you are sewing your own Christmas curtains, the best result will be if the pattern is repeated equally on both curtains.

What is the best material to choose for your Christmas fabric?

Christmas fabrics are available in a number of different materials including:

• Cotton: Cotton is a popular and versatile natural material that comes in a variety of colours and patterns, making it a popular Christmas fabric.
• Oilcloth: Oilcloth usually consists of cotton or a cotton blend with an acrylic layer, which allows it to be easily wiped clean. Oilcloths are therefore an ideal choice for tablecloths.
• Linen: Linen is a natural material with a slightly creased and natural appearance, which makes it a good choice if you are going for a rustic look.

Christmas oilcloths – perfect for families with children

For families with small children, a Christmas material in oilcloth is a perfect option. As oilcloth is easy to clean with the wipe of a cloth, you do not need to worry about spills of food or drink, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time with your loved ones.

Christmas oilcloths also make an ideal table covering for Christmas art projects or other fun activities during Christmas.

Festive fabric for personalised Christmas accessories

Christmas fabric can also be used to sew personal and unique Christmas accessories, such as Christmas stockings and material Advent calendar as well as fabric Christmas wreaths and Christmas tree skirts. Let your imagination set the limit!

Matching the Christmas textiles in your home

Create a holistic and uniform look throughout your home by using the same Christmas material for several different sewing projects.

For example, in the kitchen you can choose the same Christmas fabric to sew Christmas aprons, oven gloves and tea towels, or for the table setting, you can sew napkins and placemats in the same festive material.
