Visit our site today and join in our festive fun. This month all our new free projects have a Christmas theme and will give you plenty of inspiration for all those gifts you're planning to give. We've everything you could wish for - adorable treats for kids, such as the polar bear toy above, and cute snowman mittens. There are decorations aplenty in our stitching, crochet and sewing sections. And if you're wanting to keep cosy, why not try our Heavenly Stars quilt, quilted slippers or knitted slipper socks.

Knitting socks in winter is a very satisfying pastime, so we've uploaded a brand new guide to knitting socks by the experts at Regia. It's got loads of info, from how to knit and shape, to how to alter the size of your socks. Download our free 'How to knit socks' guide...

Also tucked away on the site are six new bonus home decor projects using Amy Butler and Kaffe Fassett fabrics... If you want to spruce up a corner of your home in time for Christmas, take a look now at our fabulous cushion and upholstery patterns... You'll find loose covers for a dining chair and an armchair, three different styles of cushion - patchwork square, oval and rectangular striped design. There's even a new brooch pattern to treat yourself!

Enjoy your Christmas, and we'll be back soon with a new selection of free projects.

Happy Christmas from all the Coats Crafts team.
