    Introduction

    When we think about entertaining during the Hanukkah season, we expect to have a Menorah, but seldom know what to do to decorate the rest of the home.

    The good news is there are lots and lots of things that you can sew for your home that will allow you and your family to say Happy Hanukkah in a very personal way.

    Sunshine Sewing and Quilting Center

    During a visit to Sunshine Sewing and Quilting Center in Margate, Florida, I came across a huge assortment of placemats, table runners and challah covers, specifically designed for the Hanukkah season. The placemats feature a side panel with a pocket that is designed to hold a matching napkin and flatware.

    There are also lots and lots of wall hangings that you can make and display as well as other items to decorate your table for the holiday with style. All of these things can be yours after spending just a little bit of time at the sewing machine.

    Hanukkah wall hanging kits sold at Sunshine feature Dreidels, Menorahs and the Star of David. You can purchase these kits with or without exclusive fabric designed by Sunshine owner, Fay Nicholl, giving you the freedom to make your Hanukkah wall hanging to match your personal home décor.

    Each kit comes with a pattern and detailed instructions guaranteed to give you perfect results… even if you are new to machine quilting. Menorah wall hangings come in varying sizes.

    Some feature rhinestone accents to brighten up the room and others are more traditional. The unique twisted Driedel wall hanging is a hit with quilting classes.

    The same is true for each one of the Hanukkah table linen kits available for sale at Sunshine. Sunshine Sewing and Quilting is also a great source for Hanukkah themed fabric, quilting supplies and gifts.

    In addition, if your busy schedule makes it impossible for you to sit down and make your own Hanukkah décor items or if you simply don’t believe you have the skills to do the sewing yourself, you can visit the Sunshine website and order your ready-made personalized Hanukkah home décor.

    An internet search resulted in my discovering several online sources for Hanukkah décor items that you can make at home as well.

    Sew Mama Sew, one of my favorite sewing blogs, proved to be a very interesting and valuable online source for Hanukkah sewing projects.

    I found a great collection of Hanukkah home décor items like embroidered coasters and wall hangings from sources like The Purl Bee and The Inbox Jaunt that you can make in just a few minutes.

    In addition to an exclusive challah cover from Two Hippos bearing the Hebrew word Shabbat, Sew Mama Sew shares links to sites that offer step by step instructions for making Hanukkah coasters from The Purl Bee.

    Each of these projects is easy to make by hand or by machine.

    This collection of handmade coasters is a design from The Purl Bee. A visit to the Sew Mama Sew Hanukkah décor page will guide you to the link where you can find detailed instructions for making these coasters and lots of other things to decorate your home for the holiday.

    Petaquilts: the Not So Guilty Quilter, is the source for a Hanukkah table runner that features a menorah center block along with a menorah wall hanging to adorn your walls.

    The Inbox Jaunt is the source for Lori Kennedy’s free motion embroidery design called Spin the Driedel.

    The image here is depicted on felt. If felt is not your cup of tea, imagine this design on taffeta, silk or satin.

    If hand embroidery is a passion of yours, you might be interested in this creation featuring hand stitching and mother of pearl buttons from Floresita.

    You can make this any size you want and even use the embroidery hoops as a frame for hanging this decorative accent.

    They can be made by hand or machine and are a great way to involve the children in making preparations for the holidays.

    A driedel Hanukkah garland is an ideal decoration for the home, making the holiday even more festive. Make this one with felt as shown here or with the fabric of your choice.

    You can click a link on the All Free Sewing site that will take you straight to Martha Stewart’s crepe paper driedel treats bag.

    If you want your bags to last more than one season, you don’t have to use delicate crepe paper, but felt or some other reusable material instead.

    By making it yourself, you also have the option of using see through netting or an opaque fabric on the front.

    This adorable Star of David Hanukkah treats bag is a different variation yet just as easy to assemble.

    A little bit of machine or hand embroidery embellishes this treat bag.

    You can even personalize it by adding the names of the children who will be visiting you this Hanukkah season.

    Plush toys are always a favorite with the little ones.

    What better way to celebrate Hanukkah with the youngest members of the family than a driedel plush toy.

    Plushies are easy to make on a sewing machine or serger with soft flannel or felt and a bit of fiberfill.

    Pinterest is quite possibly the fastest growing social media/networking website at this point in time. When I took a look at what Pinterest had to offer in the way of sewing projects for Hanukkah, it was absolutely mind boggling.
