Fat Quarter Christmas Sewing Projects

Fat quarters are great for sewing smaller projects. Buying smaller amounts of fabric but in variety of patterns allows you to make  fabric stash more manageable while still having plenty of fabrics to work with.

If you wander what to sew for Christmas and want to put your smaller cuts in good use, check out my collection of Fat quarter Christmas sewing projects. Most of these use 1 fat quarter or less, and there are a few that will call for a few FQ. Go check these out!

10 minute Christmas Table runner

Make sure your next Christmas dinner dining table setup is adequate with table runners that match the vibe, like this one that takes a tiny bit of time to make but still looks as beautiful as complex ones, with its rectangular shape and triangular ends on the short sides, and a slightly smaller rectangle inside that’s made of patterned floral fabric.

Christmas tree napkins

Just two pieces of fat quarter fabrics in two hues of green and one in red color are enough for you to make gorgeous and creative napkins for your dining table that look like a colorful Christmas tree when you fold it according to the instructions, and they can even fit cutlery between the folds so you can also use them as practical cutlery holders.
