Christmas Cottage Ornaments | A Slow Sunday Gathering

There’s something especially lovely about handmade Christmas decorations—the wonky little stitches, the tiny details, and the feeling that they might become part of someone’s holiday traditions for years to come.
In this cozy Slow Sunday workshop, you’ll create a pair of charming Christmas Cottage Ornaments using layered fabrics, simple hand stitching, lace, ribbon, trims and tiny embroidered details.
We’ll work slowly and keep things beginner-friendly, with plenty of time to choose colours, fabrics and embellishments that make your cottages feel completely your own. One might be soft and neutral, another colourful and whimsical, or perhaps both will look like they belong in the same tiny stitched village.
You’ll be guided through the basic construction and a few simple hand stitches, so no sewing or embroidery experience is needed. The focus is not on perfection or speed—it’s on enjoying the process, adding the little details you love, and leaving with something handmade and full of character.
During the three-hour workshop, guests should expect to complete two cottage ornaments. Extra materials will be available for anyone who works quickly and would like to begin a third.
Your finished cottages can be hung on the Christmas tree, tucked into a garland or wreath, tied onto a special gift, or given as keepsakes of their own.
Come as you are, settle in around the table, and spend a few unhurried hours making a tiny Christmas village—one little house at a time.
