Hello all,

I am a new / novice sewer and bought the most beautiful fabric (image below) I have half a metre and looking for inspiration with what I can make!

It is Christmas nutcracker themed. I made stockings last year, and we have more than enough cushions.... i promised myself I'd only buy the fabric if I had a use for it....so hoping someone here will inspire me! Thank you x

Table runner or placemats for the Xmas dinner table.

Skirt for the Xmas tree.

Xmas tree baubles: Cut out each individual motif, back with another fabric or scraps of that fabric, add a hanging ribbon and stuff.

Use individual motifs or squares to make applique patches for Xmas PJ's/jumper/apron.

What I would actually do: buy loads more fabric and make a quilt. Probably ready for Xmas 2030!
