KNOWLEDGE INFORMATION

The unofficial holiday Christmas in July will be celebrated on Saturday, 25 July 2026. While the specific date marks the mid-year occasion, the entire month of July 2026 features major television programming events, massive retail shopping sales, and unique summer beach festivals. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

📺 Hallmark Channel Movie Schedule

The annual Hallmark Channel Christmas in July programming block returns Friday, June 26 through July 31, 2026. Old favorites will air around the clock, while four brand-new original movie premieres debut every Saturday night at 8 pm ET/PT: [4, 6, 7]
  • July 4: Christmas Under Construction (Starring Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing)
  • July 11: O Little Christmas Market (Starring Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar)
  • July 18: Snowbound for the Holidays (Starring Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner)
  • July 25: Love Under the Mistletoe (Starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman) [7]
Additionally, the second season of Christmas at Sea begins streaming on the Hallmark+ platform on July 1, 2026. [4]

🛍️ "Christmas in July" Retail Sales

The summer event serves as a major target for mid-year retail discounts. Major online marketplaces and brick-and-mortar storefronts use the theme to kickstart early holiday shopping: [5]
  • Amazon Prime Day: Typically landing in mid-July, this site-wide event is heavily branded by consumers as a "Christmas in July" discount avenue.
  • Independent Retailers: Expect deep clearout discounts on last year’s holiday decorations, winter clothing items, and home goods. [5]

🏝️ Featured 2026 Summer Festivals [6]

If you prefer celebrating out in the sunshine rather than watching television on the couch, several large-scale events are taking place: [1, 8]
  • Xmas in July Party (British Virgin Islands): Taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Pond Bay, Virgin Gorda. This massive annual Caribbean beach party attracts thousands of boaters ("The Puerto Rican Navy") and features live music and beachside events. Check the official updates via the Xmas in July Instagram Page. [1]
  • Mid-Winter Pub Events: Many establishments in the Southern Hemisphere (where July is peak winter) hold authentic, cold-weather feasts. For instance, localized charity dinners, such as the Cancer Council Christmas Fundraiser on July 11, host winter-themed raffle nights. [3, 8, 9]

How I Made The Larger Pouch


I firstly, started sorting through my scraps to find pieces that were approximately the size of 1 1/2 inches wide and 5 inches in length.   I began to somewhat put the colours that could blend together, together.  Then ensured that they sized as close as possible.  Then sewed them together at the length 5 inches at 1/4 inch seam allowances.   I did that until it reached approximately 14 inches in width   Then I straighted up the width top and bottom, as well as the sides left and right.  It was then time to focus on making the pouch.  So I cut out two pieces of fabric the same size to be the lining of the pouch.   Optional you can arrange to use fusible batting or just batting on the sewn patchwork, iron on and then quilt.  Arranged for a zipper to fit the pouch.  Placed the zipper facedown to the top of the patchwork that has been fused by either pinning or clipping.  Baste.  Attach 1 piece of the lining on top of the zipper.  Baste.  Stitch with a 1/4 inch seam along zipper using a zipper foot.  Then open on top to top stitch.  Repeat on the other side.  Once Zipper is done.  Place both pieces right sides together.  Arrange at the bottom corners to cut out 1 inch squares on both sides.  Do the same with the lining.    Make sure to note that zipper should remain open.  With right sides together stitch along each side at a 1/4 inch seam as well as on the bottom.  Do the same with the lining, but leave about a 2 - 3 inch opening for turning inside out later.  Where there is an opening of the 1 inch squares, open them to match the seams.  Stitch straight along each corner with a 1 inch seam.  Do lining the same.  Press all seam.  Turn pouch inside out through the lining hole and open zipper.   Shape and press.


It is amazing what a few scraps of fabric can produce, which would normally ended up in waste or the trash bin. 🎉

HOME SEWING DISH SPONGES

HOME SEWING DISH SPONGES

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxJNehKm/






Question Asked ChatGpt
Sewing Dish Sponges With Mesh ?

Making dish sponges with mesh is a wonderful Sewind dish sponges with meshsewing project — practical, reusable, and great for gifts or craft fairs. The mesh adds gentle scrubbing power while the fabric keeps them soft and absorbent.

Simple Sewing Dish Sponges With Mesh

Supplies

  • Cotton fabric scraps (2 pieces about 4" x 6")

  • Nylon mesh/netting or tulle (dish scrubber mesh works well)

  • Thin foam, batting, or sponge insert

  • Sewing machine or needle/thread

  • Scissors

  • Pins or clips

Instructions

1. Cut Your Pieces

Cut:

  • 2 cotton fabric rectangles

  • 1–2 pieces of mesh slightly smaller than fabric

  • 1 sponge or batting piece

2. Layer the Sponge

Stack in this order:

  1. Cotton fabric right side up

  2. Mesh layer

  3. Second cotton fabric right side down

If using batting or foam, place it behind the mesh.

3. Sew Around Edges

  • Sew around the sponge using a ¼" seam allowance

  • Leave a small opening for turning

4. Turn Right Side Out

  • Clip corners

  • Turn carefully

  • Insert sponge/batting if not sewn inside earlier

5. Close the Opening

  • Topstitch all around the sponge

  • This also helps keep layers from shifting

Optional Ideas

✨ Add:

  • Quilted lines

  • A hanging loop

  • Fun floral or fruit prints

  • Double mesh on one side for extra scrubbing

Best Fabrics

  • 100% cotton

  • Terry cloth

  • Old towels

  • Cotton flannel

Avoid very delicate mesh that may tear quickly.

Care

  • Rinse after use

  • Machine wash in warm water

  • Air dry or tumble dry low

These make lovely eco-friendly gifts and are excellent for using fabric scraps from quilting projects.
