How to Make an Organic-Theme Christmas Tree Skirt
Sew and Narrow-Hem the Skirt
- 1). Take two quarter-circle pieces and place them together with right sides in, matching small and large arcs.
- 2). Pin along one straight edge and sew, using a sewing machine.
- 3). Open out - you'll have a half-circle.
- 4). Pin one straight edge of each remaining quarter-circle to either side of the half-circle, right sides together, and sew, using a sewing machine.
- 5). Open out - you'll have a full circle with a circle-shaped opening in the middle and a slit all the way through it - like a cape.
- 6). Narrow-hem the inner hole, the two long edges that form the opening of the skirt, and the outer edge. To do this, turn over 1/4 inch of fabric along the area you are hemming and press; turn over another 1/4 and press again; then machine-stitch.
