Holy Family, sewing pattern series #1
In 2021 I lost both my mom and two of my dogs all within a few months. These events, on top of the mess our country was in following the pandemic, had me in a dark place. I needed a little light and ease in my life. I was shopping at my local Hobby Lobby and found this really cute stable. When I was cleaning out my mom’s craft supplies and decorations for my dad I turned down my mom’s manger scene because it was so ostentatious. It would’ve never looked right in my house and I knew it would never give me the true spirit of the season when I gazed upon it. So, standing in that Christmas aisle in my favorite store, I was suddenly inspired to create my own Holy Family.
This is the first in a series of patterns to make your own nativity. It includes detailed instructions and photos/illustrations to guide you as you create. Joseph is about 5.5" tall, Mary, just a bit shorter. The dolls are made in the Waldorf way with cotton knit and wool stuffing. Suitable for play or decoration.
This downloadable pattern includes Mary, Joseph, the Donkey, the baby Jesus , and all clothing. Also includes instructions for making your own manger out of craft sticks. The stable is something you will have to purchase at Hobby Lobby or other craft store.
