Little Christmas Sew-A-Long...
Christmas is next week!
Next week!
Eeeeeep!
Yay!
Amber from Alder Wood Studio invited me to join her for her Little Christmas Sew-A-Long. The sew-a-long started at the beginning of December. Each week a designer shares his/her project. So fun!
If you’re not following Amber on Instagram, you’re missing out. Her Instagram feed is full of beautiful inspiration. She’s also the founder of Monthly Modern Makes, a subscription box that sends you a mini quilt project each month. You can add on a pillow or hand quilting kit to each month. How cool is that?
My project features foundation paper piecing. And guess what? It only takes about an hour to make! That’s perfect, especially if you’re looking for a last minute holiday project or gift.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
Tree Lot Foundation Paper Piece Template (click on the button below)
Fabric
Felt
4’’ Embroidery Hoop
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Fabric Safe Pen or Pencil
Ribbon for Bow/Hanger
Scrap Faux Garland Twigs
Button for Bow
Miscellaneous Sewing Supplies
Here’s the simple instructions for making your own:
Trace the embroidery hoop on a piece of felt.
Following the line, cut out the felt circle and set aside.
Make the Tree Lot FPP block.
Remove the paper from the back of the block.
Center and insert the block into the embroidery hoop. Tighten.
Trim the excess fabric from the back of the embroidery hoop.
With the glue gun, apply the felt circle on the back of the embroidery hoop.
Using ribbon, a button, and faux garland twigs, decorate to the top of the embroidery hoop.
How cute, right? I couldn’t help but make two. Which one is your favorite?
I used Riley Blake Designs Shades and Hashtag, two of my go-to basics!
Head over to #littlechristmassewalong to see more projects! Oh, and the Tree Lot FPP Template is perfect for other little projects too. Sew four together for a mini quilt or add some quilting and bind for a mug rug.
