The hugely popular Kylie and the Machine Advent Calendar is back for 2026, with 65 limited edition woven labels to uncover. Countdown to the festive season with 24 windows to open, each revealing 2-5 woven labels. |
|
|
This year Kylie and the Machine have teamed up with German-Australian illustrator Lisa Koesterke to design their calendar. Lisa creates vibrant artworks inspired by everyday life, childhood nostalgia, nature and food and the calendar contains 29 labels featuring original artwork by Lisa. |

*No sweary labels are included in this calendar, so it’s appropriate for sewers of all ages! |
|
|
|
|
|
If you love a little of silly cheekiness in the festive season and consider yourself a sweary sewer, then have some fun with the 2026 Sweary Sewist Advent Calendar. Containing 30 limited edition labels across 12 windows, this calendar is a super way to countdown to Christmas. |
|
|
The smaller size of this calendar also makes it an ideal choice for gifting to a fellow sweary sewist! |
