A Tiny Forest

Are you familiar with the meme about wanting to make all your loved ones homemade Christmas presents, and come Christmas, it turns out you love two people? That's usually me. But last year, I made holiday sweater pins for all my co-workers, and this year the muse showed up again. With a recycled project to be fair, but still, every one of my colleagues received a homemade Christmas pillow.

I freehanded a Christmas tree shape on paper, 20" high and 20" wide at its widest point, and cut out the trees. I can get three double-sided trees out of a yard and a half of fleece. Sew the two sides together leaving a 3" opening, turn the tree inside out, stuff with poly-fil, and sew the tree closed by hand. Behold, a tiny forest of Christmas cheer. 

Merry Christmas!

Jack In The Bag

Like a lot of makers, I suffer from ICTMTM syndrome in stores and at fairs: I Can Totally Make That Myself. Consequently not much gets made because of the sheer volume of projects I can totally make myself. But once in a while, a project breaks through.
