Christmas Tree Pants Sew-Along - DAY 1
Today kicks off Day 1 of my Christmas Tree Pants Holiday Sew-Along (because not all trees like to wear skirts) at Sew,Mama,Sew!
Please join me today for Day 1, and the next and following Friday (October 14 & 21) for Day 2 and Day 3 of the sew-along.
Sew along with me and post your photos each week to the Christmas Tree Pants Sew-Along Flickr group for a chance to win sleigh-load of great goodies from the Sew,Mama,Sew! Holiday Sew-Along. Every photo you post in the Tree Pants flickr group is an entry! All the SMS prize info is at the bottom of my tutorial on SMS. Good times.
Day 1 is making 9-patch stars. Since I’m like my own Hair Club For Men, I’m participating in my sew-along too! The scrappy version.
For Day 1 we’ll make seven 9-patch stars. Totally do-able, right? So to make it easy on myself, I got a little mathie so I could get all my ducks scraps in a row. This is my formula:
12) 5″ STRIPS OF FABRIC
From 10 strips, cut:
6) 4½” squares
1) 2½” x 12½” rectangle
From 1 strip, cut:
6) 4½” squares
2) 2½” x 12½” rectangle
From 1 strip, cut:
8) 4½” squares
Oh look, I just happen to have 3 little bundlettes of 5″ strips of a Holiday Happy & Happy Mochi Yum Yum combo. Just lying around, waiting to go to good home. Each Friday of my sew-along I’ll give one away.
Leave me a comment here to enter for this week’s bundlette. Maybe I can schmooze you into telling me what your current fave 3-color combo is? I’ll announce the winner here on this post next Friday just before I post the teaser post for Day 2 of the Tree Pants sew-along.
Friends don’t let friends have trees without pants - come sew with me!
