The Book Shoppe — PDF Pattern

Dicken’s Winter Village Series | Building No. 4

Click here to check out the Youtube Tutorial and Amazon.com shopping list to effortlessly build your own light strands for this and the other buildings in the series!

The Book Shoppe is a cozy, Victorian-inspired addition to the Dicken’s Winter Village — a charming felt building rich with ornate embroidery, delicate beadwork, and thoughtful details that invite a closer look.

Peer through each window to discover a softly glowing interior scene, illuminated by a hidden strand of LED lights. When the lights go down, that warm glow brings the Book Shoppe to life, setting this handmade village apart from its mass-produced plastic counterparts. It’s a piece designed to feel intimate, nostalgic, and quietly magical.

This project is meant to be stitched slowly and enjoyed deeply, with each detail adding to the story it tells.

Overall Dimensions:  Height 9.5", Width 6.25", Depth 4.25"

Your PDF download includes:

• A richly detailed pattern with step-by-step photo instructions
• A bonus wiring guide for adding battery-operated LED lighting
• Optional pre-wired LED strands available separately in my shop for those who prefer not to wire their own

The Book Shoppe is the fourth building in the growing Dicken’s Winter Village collection, designed to be added to year after year. Stitch it as a standalone piece or as part of a village that grows alongside your skills and traditions.

Follow along on social media or join the Prim Sewciety to stay up to date on future village releases — and begin building a winter scene filled with handmade memories.
