Christmas Tree Skirt

My work in progress that I shared yesterday turned into this:


I convinced my husband that instead of a big real tree this year, we have a smaller fake one.  Our condo living room is quite small and the big tree takes up a ton of space (and blocks part of the TV).  I also didn't feel like cleaning the pine needles out of my convertible that we use to bring it home in. :)  This year I bought a super cute small pre-lit 4' tree and needed a new skirt.

I sewed together strips of fabric, alternated cutting them into 45 degree triangles, added tree trunks (they are a dark brown Kona), sashed each tree and sewed them into a circle.  It finishes at 30" wide which is perfect for our 4' tree.


My absolute favorite part of this skirt is the binding. I love how the stripes look.


It was complete luck that the tree above has a snowflake positioned as if its a star on top. :)





I ripped off all of the clear pre-lit lights and added multi-colored twinkle lights.  I could stare at it for hours.  We both love it!


Happy Sewing!

    signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
