I love how the two different fabrics create this beautiful pattern.
Placing this around the stand of your tree will surely elevate its look.
you could also add embellishments like ribbons and beads to make it even more stunning.
For this project, you are going to make your own pattern using a big piece of paper.
Trust me, its super easy.
Theres a step-by-step instructions on how to do it, so you dont need to worry.
The pattern can also be used to maketablecloths, so save it for a different season.
On the top folded edge, measure 1 inch down, then draw a 1/2 horizontal line.
From that line, go down 18.5, and put a mark.
Measure 4 1/4 from the folded mark and make another mark.
Connect the mark from the top and at the bottom, making a diagonal line.
Once done, cut it out.
Trace it into cardboard and cut.
You need two templates.
Write on your pattern: tree skirt with a 40 diameter.
Cut 16 pieces and use 1/4 seam.
Step 2:
Fold your fabric A in half twice.
Place 2 of the templates on top, arranged in the opposite direction.
Cut around the edges.
double-check to use a sharp blade.
Repeat the process for fabric B.
Step 3:
after you snag 16 pieces, take one from A and B.
Line them up on the long edge and sew with 1/4 seam allowance.
Keep adding the other pieces, making sure to alternate the colors, until you form a circle.
Press all seams in one direction.
Next, place the tree skirt on top, right side down, and pin the edges.
ensure each layer is smoothened.
Trim the excess cotton batting and back fabric.
Next, cut where the ends meet and the small circle in the middle.
Step 5:
Sew the edges all the way around but leave a big opening.
Cut little slits just before the stitch line.
Step 6:
Pull it right side out and flatten.
Once closed, stitch on top of the seams to hold everything in place.
