Product Information

Cut through the layers across the marked line with fabric scissors, and you should have a circle when you unfold it. Fold the square in half to make a long rectangle (20″ x 40″), fold that rectangle in half at the middle vertical line (20″ x 20″). Step 4: To make the small ties that will keep your skirt closed once it’s on the tree base, cut 6 pieces of 6″ ribbon. Use a hot glue gun to glue them to the underside of your skirt in sets of 2.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of how much fabric you’ll need to make this Christmas tree quilt pattern. After you make all your cuts into the fur, take it outside and give it a good shake so it won’t shed any more fur bits later.You may see a tree skirt described as a basket, blanket, tree ring or collar, but they all do the same job. A tree skirt is great for covering up the unattractive 'legs', trunk or stand of a tree, plus any unsightly lighting wires, giving your festive decorating theme a cohesive, uncluttered look. It will also protect your floors and carpets from any fallen pine needles too, if you prefer a real tree. I love Christmas and I love sewing for Christmas. With this in mind I decided stitch up my own reversible Christmas tree skirt. No pattern is necessary for this project. It is all in how you fold the fabric that makes this project simple and easy. You don’t need to make this reversible if you don’t want to but I thought it would be a nice touch. I added some trim to make my fabric stand out a bit more along with some ribbon for ties. You really don’t need the ties but I thought they were cute.

Step 2: To make the small middle circle for your tree trunk, fold your fabric circle in half and place a round can or jar halfway across the middle point of your fold. Trace the half circle and cut with fabric scissors.Turn the entire Christmas tree skirt right sides together through the opening you left in the top circle. Turn right sides out Step 7: Close the Opening Your finished Christmas tree skirt will measure 60in diameter if you follow our step by step guide. Place the lining piece right sides together with the outer piece. Stitch all around the bottom of the skirt, the line of the skirt, and the upper circle leaving and opening in the upper circle for turning. Step 6: Turn Right Sides Out The fur skirt is the easiest one because you have the least amount of things to add to it, but you have to be a little slower when cutting out your circles to keep the length of the fur intact around the edges. Step 3: Leave the fabric folded and cut the fold open on just one of the sides. This opening will allow you to place your skirt over the base of the tree.

Stitch the pom pom trim to the right side of the main outer fabric facing toward the inside of the skirt. Add the pom pom trim Step 4: Add the Ribbon

Step 1: First, we are going to cut a big circle out of our fabric. An easy way to get an even circle is to make a big square that is at least the width of your tree skirt (I have a small tree so I needed at least 40″ wide). Generally, tree skirts are machine washable, but some may need to be hand washed or professionally laundered. Skirts made of natural, hard materials, such as grass or willow, shouldn't be cleaned in a washing machine.
