We are so excited that Sunday sees the first Styling the Seasons event to thank the gorgeous bloggers who helped us launch the monthy styling challenge in September. And what could be better than a craft party at Liberty of London? Eeeep! So excited.
Charlotte and I have decided to challenge our guests to make some Liberty print Christmas decorations that they can then feature in their December Styling the Seasons posts. So, I have been trying to find some inspiration today to help me decide what to make and I had to start with the Liberty Craft Blog, obvs. There are going to be lots of crafty bits and bobs from the wonderful The Homemakery, as well as a big pile of Liberty fabric, so the possibilities are endless. I contributed to Liberty’s Christmas campaign last year (I made this advent calendar bunting) and there were also some other really beautiful projects so I’ve pulled them together for a bit of inspiration…

An easy sewing project to style the mantelpiece? (I wish I had that fireplace!!) Liberty print Christmas stocking by Sania Pell
My advent calendar bunting to style the wall (that totally counts as a ‘surface’)? Liberty print advent bunting by Apartment Apothecary
These really sweet Christmas tree decorations would look lovely on any surface in the home – hallway table, dining table, sideboard, windowsill. Liberty print Christmas tree decoration by Sew Magazine
Something to style the Christmas table like this Poinsettia tea cosy? Liberty print Poinsettia tea cosy by Deedrie La Follette
What about crafting some beautiful present tags and wrapping? Furoshiki Japanese fabric wrapping technique by Sew Magazine
What would you make? I might wait until tomorrow to decide and get some inspiration from the ridiculously talented group of ladies who will be attending. Watch out for the hashtag #craftingtheseasons to see photos of the day and we are very lucky to have Katharine Peachey photographing the event, too, so there will be plenty of lovely photos to follow.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Love the wrapping so much. Hope you all have great fun, so disappointed I can’t make it x
I am so sad you’re not going to be there, Emma! I really wanted to meet you, apart from anything else. Hope you have a great time on your course this weekend xx
Looking forward to it so much! So many ideas…….
I still haven’t decided what to make! I know I want a big vase of branches on the hallway table so was thinking about creating some decs for that but just not sure what! Can’t wait to see you x
Love all of these ideas so much, especially your advent calendar bunting and the wrapping. I hope you had a great time at your event and I’m looking forward to seeing the photos! x
Thank you, Kate! I’m going to have to get the bunting up again soon. Pics will be up soon! x
Sew cute! And looked like a super fun afternoon at Liberty!
Too much fun, Leigh! I’m full of crafty ideas now just need a bit more time to bring them to life! X
