The loveliest little Christmas outfits
There is something very special about handmade Christmas clothes for children. The little dresses, shirts and trousers we cannot wait to see them wear at Christmas gatherings, around the tree and on all those cosy December days.
Inspiration for handmade children's Christmas clothes
Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to sew something special for the children. Perhaps a lovely dress for Christmas Day, a pair of trousers for December days or a whole outfit that becomes part of this year's Christmas traditions.
It can be smart and festive or soft and casual. The most important thing is that it suits the child and the December days the clothes will be part of.
Christmas favourites
Handmade Christmas clothes with personality
Checks, velour, corduroy or perhaps a lovely Christmas print? When you sew it yourself, you can combine colours, fabrics and sewing patterns to create a Christmas look that feels just right for your child.
How to get started
Let the children join in from the start. Look at sewing patterns together, choose between dresses, skirts, tops, shirts or trousers, and let them help pick fabrics and colours they will love wearing.
Make it as Christmassy as you like
Some children love everything that feels Christmassy, while others would rather have something they can wear beyond December too. Both can make wonderful Christmas outfits. Let the future wearer have a say, and it will feel even more special when it is finally time to put the clothes on.

For the littlest ones
Little clothes, lots of sewing joy
There is something lovely about sewing for the littlest ones. The small sizes invite sweet Christmas motifs, beautiful colours and details that make the clothes completely their own.
And baby clothes make wonderful, manageable sewing projects. Sew a complete set or start with one favourite piece to wear for all those cosy Christmas moments.
Baby's first Christmas
Something special for those little Christmas moments
First Christmas Day, visits with family and cosy December days. The handmade clothes can be part of it all, and perhaps they will even be kept as a little reminder of a very special Christmas.
Soft from the inside out
For baby clothes, soft and comfortable fabrics are a wonderful place to start. Think cotton jersey, sweatshirt fabric and other qualities that feel lovely against the skin and give little arms and legs plenty of room to move.
Choose simple sewing patterns with plenty of freedom of movement and practical solutions for getting clothes on and off. That way, you are thinking of both the little one wearing the clothes and the person dressing them.
Below, we have gathered some of our favourites.
