When you’re just starting to sew, it can feel like there’s a whole secret language everyone else already knows. What the heck is a feed dog? Why are we basting something that’s not a chicken? And who’s playing chicken with their bobbin thread?

Welcome to the wonderful (and sometimes weird) world of sewing lingo—those funny little phrases and slang sewing terms that seasoned sewists toss around like it’s no big deal but make sewing beginners frantically run to Google for help.

The good news? You don’t have to know everything. But getting familiar with a few of these in-the-know sewing terms will make you feel more confident, connected, and a little more “official” every time you sit down to sew.

So here are 10 (plus a bonus!) sewing terms that sound confusing, funny, or just plain odd—but are actually super helpful to know.

‘Tis the season to be jolly—and what’s jollier than scrolling through memes that perfectly sum up the chaos, joy and, often, hilarity of the holiday season? 🎄 Christmas isn’t just about mistletoe, eggnog, and twinkling lights (though, let’s be real, those are all great).

It’s also about those unfiltered, real-life moments that we all know too well: the frantic last-minute gift wrapping, adorning your home with festive decorations (Psst! I’ve got a link at the bottom of this post 👇 with fabulous festive DIY décor to make!), as well as the “is-this-still-edible?” 😅 holiday leftovers.

In this post, I’m here to bring you a bit of extra cheer this year by counting down the 12 Memes of Christmas, a nod to the classic holiday song that gets stuck in everyone’s head by December 3rd. Think of this as your digital countdown to Christmas, packed with laughs and shared experiences that are perfect for sharing with your girlfriends, family, and your holiday group chat.

So, cozy up with your favourite blanket, grab a mug of something warm (or spiked—I won’t judge), and let’s kick off this virtual advent calendar of relatable Christmas humour.

Let the laughter commence!
