Today's post is our last Christmas in July post ( you can see the previous ones here, here and here) and is a bit different. I decided to pull together in one place several Christmas resources for you. So whether you are ready to get started now, or in a few months from now, these resources (most of which are free) are all in one place! So, let's see what I have for you!
First up, is this collection of Free Christmas Picture Smocking plates. Getting a jump on those Christmas outfits, especially if you have more than one to do can be a great help come the holidays.
If you don't want to tackle picture smocking, remember you can stitch any geometric plate in Christmas colors!
Wouldn't the Flower Girl dress from my daughter's wedding be lovely as a Christmas dress?
If you are not ready to tackle a big project like that, maybe you want a small item that you can tuck in your bag and take to the pool - an ornament is the perfect thing! Here is a round-up of Smocked Ornament Patterns!
If you are looking for a particular design, then check out the round-up posts of free patterns of Christmas Trees:
And if you need some Christmas Fabrics to get going, on your project...
