Looking for the perfect Christmas sewing patterns? I get it! The festive season is the perfect excuse to create a stunning handmade outfit. Whether you’re attending a holiday party, a family gathering, or a New Year’s celebration, these quick-to-sew patterns for the holidays will make you the star of the show.
All these patterns are designed for stretchy fabrics, ensuring comfort and ease of movement during festive fun.
Gemma Corset Dress by LizzieDesignStudio
Corsets are usually the least comfortable piece of clothing you could think of — but what if I told you this one has a shirred back, making it extensible? Pure genius!
The Gemma Corset Dress has a flattering drop waist and pattern modifications include halters. For chillier evenings, I pair my shoulder-free Gemma with the Oaxaca Wrap Blouse for extra warmth. Its simple lines and elegant fit make it a great wardrobe staple beyond the holiday season.
This is the only pattern from this list that is made for woven fabric! I made mine in Seersucker (see picture), which gives it a lot of volume, but I can totally see this with more festive fabrics, such as tafetta with a sheen!

Manila Bodycon Dress by Sew Into That
Because it was conceived specially for stretch fabric, this bodycon dress sewing pattern makes for a snug yet comfy dress. I find it both modern and elegant, and with the right fabric (see inspo below), it can become an absolute looker while at the same time become a staple in your wardrobe!
The Manila Bodycon Dress has an eye-catching criss-cross bust and a mock-neck, which strikes the perfect balance between sultry and put together. It looks complicated by it’s an extremely easy sewing pattern.
Especially if you’re afraid of knits, this pattern will be a perfect learning occasion.

Jasmine Dress by PrimaRimmaPatterns
I haven’t tried this pattern personally but I own several PrimaRimma Patterns. Rimma’s patterns and instructions are always on point, and I would trust the Jasmine Dress to be no different, and one that makes for a perfect Christmas Sewing Pattern!
This one is another stretch pattern for guaranteed comfort, while the twisted front knot creates a stunning effect. Now combine it with a festive-looking fabric such as a glossy coated jersey or a glittery knit, and you’ll be the star of the show at New Year’s Eve!
Rimma also offers this very same pattern as a long top, which looks equally amazing, especially if you’re not into dresses during the cold season. The Jasmine Pullover can be paired with a comfy pair of fleece lined see-through tights!

The Mimosa Dress by Mood
As you can tell from this entire post, my idea of festive Christmas sewing patterns involves load of drape, and this sewing pattern is no different.
The Mimosa Dress is FREE to download — you just need to subscribe to the Mood newsletter. I haven’t tried this pattern myself (and I personally think Mood patterns are a bit hit or miss) but because this is both a stretch and a wrap pattern, you’re safe to try it out.
This pattern is quite fabric hungry (with fabric requirements of 3m minimum) but the outcome will look amazing paired with the right kind of fabric!
