🛷 Sleigh the Holiday Make-Along — July 25–30, 2026 🎄
Tiny Stitches. Big Holiday Cheer. ✨
It's back, baby... and this year, we're going small in size but BIG on holiday cheer! 🎁 Say hello to the Sleigh the Holiday Make-Along — our fabulously festive Christmas in July event where we'll be stitching up handmade ornaments full of charm, personality, and yarny goodness.
These are not your basic, boring holiday bulbs... think fun shapes, cozy textures, colorwork moments, embroidery details, stuffed cuties, flat favorites, and maybe even a cable or two — because we like our ornaments with a little extra sass. ✨
And yes... we've got both knit AND crochet ornaments, because we are nothing if not BiCrafty Besties around here. 💖
🎄 This Year's Make-Along Includes...
- 🎄 1 free knit ornament pattern — available right here on the Marly Bird website
- 🎄 1 free crochet ornament pattern — available right here on the Marly Bird website
- 🎄 5 VIP ornament patterns inside the Marly Bird House VIP Experience
- 🎄 Instructional video support to help you every stitch of the way
- 🎄 A festive community experience inside Marly's Minions: Marly Bird BiCrafty Community on Facebook
- 🎄 Scrap-friendly projects — perfect for using up those little bits of yarn we all have tucked away 🧵
🗓 Event dates: July 25–30, 2026
📋 Supply list + details drop: July 21 — so you'll have time to gather your yarn, hooks, needles, stuffing, ornament hooks, ribbon, and whatever festive little extras you want to use to make your ornaments shine
🏷 Hashtags: #SleighTheHoliday and #MMMDI
Whether you're newer to knit or crochet, or you've been stitching for years, this is the perfect little holiday project party. We'll have a mix of beginner-friendly, advanced beginner, and intermediate projects — plus video tutorials and step-by-step support so I truly believe you can make these. 🙌
And let's be honest... in the economy we're living in, a scrap yarn project is basically self-care. Use what you have, make something adorable, and then feel completely justified buying more yarn for the next big thing. That's just smart crafting. 😉
