The Stitch Up: These Peppermint Patterns Are Bringing Serious Holiday Cheer

above @TOOKIETHINGS GETS IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WITH THE PEPPERMINT ADVENT CALENDAR

December has been and almost gone, so it’s time to look back on 2023 and reminisce on all the good things that happened and appreciate them, no matter how small. And truly, no word of a lie, one of the brightest parts, year after year, is seeing the incredible creations you clever crafters spin together from our humble Peppermint patterns.

So before we all hold hands and toast the year that was, we’ve put together a roundup of some of the most marvellous makes we’ve seen this December. If you want to show off your sensational sewing, be sure to tag us in your posts and you might see yourself in The Stitch Up next year!


SEWING SISTERS

Is there anything more special than the bond sewing fosters between friends? @_Rubys_Threads_ and two friends shout it from the rooftops as they pose up a storm in their matching Peppermint Bowen Dresses. Ca-ute!


PACK LIGHT

Itinerary? Check. Passport? Check. Suitcase full of Peppermint patterns? Take notes from @SJBveyron who rocked two pairs of Peppermint Loungewear pants on a recent trip to India. Bon voyage!

DRESS TO IMPRESS

If there was ever a time to get out your best frock, it’d have to be December, right? And we’re swooning over these dreamy dresses by @ThatsSewMonica and @SoSewEmma – cheers to you!


SUMMER LOVIN’

Talk about summer staples! We reckon @Sezzy_Sews has got scrap-busting down pat in this sunshiney Peppermint Peplum Top and how about @Artigana_Creative’s floral fabric choice for the Peppermint Bronte Bathers? Perfection!


WHAT COMES BEFORE PART B?

Part-AYYYYYY! The Peppermint Party to be precise and you know we couldn’t finish up without making mention of all the gorgeous Peppermint patterns we saw swanning around The Nest Creative earlier this month. Read all about the night, and the oh-so-popular Me Made Parade, here if you missed out on the fun.
