A little pre-Christmas project

I was chatting Christmas projects with my mom-in-law this past week. I was telling her my plan for some little gifts I plan to make. She mentioned a pattern she’d sewn back in the day that was easy and quick. 

After searching for the directions and the pattern I thought it would be fun to try it. 

Yesterday I pulled out some cute Christmas plaid and got to work. 

Five hours later… I decided these must get faster with practice. I drew out the pattern, cut out all six tree shapes, sewed them together in pairs, ironed them, sewed them together and started stuffing. Then I had to patch the seems that popped (oops!)  The stuffing took me as long as all the cutting and sewing combined. 

But once I got the branches stuffed I had some help from Lu Lu 🙂  

  The whole thing turned out pretty cute though I think I’ll add some tiny bells or balls to the tips of the branches and maybe a star.  

  

I doubt I’ll be making more. It used up my entire stash of stuffing! 

After working all day on it I’m ready to write today!
