Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Christmas Tree

Celebrate Christmas in July by making a felt tree

Tutorial at So Sew Easy Blog

"When my husband saw me gradually assembling and sewing what looked like a Christmas tree in late May, he was rather confused. He knows I like to be organised, but even he thought that was a bit early.  I tried to explain about Christmas in July, but he’s never heard of it.  We’re from the UK and its not a term you’d hear there – is it just the US?  You can read more about the origins of Christmas in July at Wikipedia.  Not to be deterred by his Scrooge impressions, I’ve made the cutest Christmas Tree.  What do you think?  It’s the perfect size to go on an entry table or use as a table centerpiece, although I designed it initially with toddlers in mind, so they could safely decorate their own Christmas Tree. I even included magic buttons to play Christmas Carols too".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Holiday Dress with Removable Decorations

Remove decoration after the holiday and jumper can be worn all year

Holiday Dress Tutorial at Sewing the Little Heart Collection Blog

"My Thanksgiving jumper with removable turkey tail was a great hit, and a lot of fun to make. My sister and I were talking about it one day, and found that the options are never ending! We came up with so many new ideas, so the next project for Littleheart's holiday wardrobe is the Hanukkah (Christmas) Jumper with removable Menorah (Christmas Tree). This one can definitely have the interchangeable ruffle like the Thanksgiving jumper with removable turkey tail, but to change things a bit the interchangeable piece for this dress will be snowflakes and a snowman.  I made the jumper with the Menorah piece, since we celebrate Hanukkah (and Littleheart has a Hanukkah party this Friday), but it is really easy to make something for Christmas. Since Christmas is also the holiday of lights, I suggest doing some candles, and maybe a tree in the middle. Here is an illustration of what I would do, but the options are never-ending"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Christmas Rag Wreath

Fun!

Christmas Rag Wreath Tutorial at RosMadeMe
"Right, from the get go I am going to tell you this is not what I had planned for this weekend but I went on a trip to Hobbycraft looking for a flower loom but could not find one. However, I did find a polystyrene wreath which I had been after for a while because I wanted to make a slightly different sort of rag wreath this year. I think that this might be a great hit with the children over half term if you do the fabric cutting in advance and it looks equally good on your front door or hung inside to match your colour scheme. The other great thing is that this wreath can be used for a number of years and by carefully storing the fabrics you can recycle it throughout the year - which means you will be green without an ounce of greenery!..."
