Christmas Tree Pants Sew-Along - DAY 1
October 7th, 2011
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!

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
Tough call…today I will say grey, pumpkin, and plum. Tomorrow will likely be different! Thanks!
October 7th, 2011Very cute fabric!
October 7th, 2011My favorite 3 color combo currently is orange, yellow and gray (maybe throw in some blue or green too) but very much about the citrine colors!
October 7th, 2011Yay! Can’t wait to get started on this - it’s so clever!
October 7th, 2011My current favorite color combo is robins egg blue, lime green and canary yellow.
October 7th, 2011I’m a little confused about the directions. Why are we cutting 5 inch strips if we then want 4.5 inch squares? Shouldn’t we cut 4.5 inch strips and 4.5 inch squares from those strips? Which strip or strips goes into making the white stars?
++++++++++++
October 7th, 2011This is for if you want your scrappy version to be more planned and controlled, vs just foraging for scraps. The 5″ strip measurement is so you have some cutting elbow room - plus one strip you need 5″ so you can cut two 2½” by 12½” rectangles. Hope that made sense - Monica
my favorites: just about any colors with aqua!
October 7th, 2011Tree pants are not only genius and gender equalizing, but all kinds of awesome! Oh, my favorite color combo (of the morning) is yellow, orange and purple. This afternoon it might be blue, cyan and green.
October 7th, 2011This looks like so much FUN!! I think I’ll go scappY!!
October 7th, 2011I just love green, gray, and white. I just love this block.
October 7th, 2011First I have to say that I love the way you’ve written the tutorial on SMS. Beautiful, easy, freakin’ awesome, lady.
Second, I like that my tree will have pants, even though I (nearly) never wear them myself.
Third, my three color combo right now… salmon, teal, butter yellow. Not sure why, but it’s what I want to be surrounded by at all times lately. New salmon-colored dress in in the works so hopefully this new obsession lasts for a few months.
October 7th, 2011As with the seasons changing, so do color preferences. But…when I am in a store looking at fabrics, I seem to be drawn to turquoise and crisp white.
October 7th, 2011I should probably amend my comment, since you wanted three colors. Turquoise, crisp white, AND dove grey. Today. Tomorrow will be different!
October 7th, 2011At the moment my favourite colour trio is aqua, brown and yellow! Yep I’ve just made an apron in those colours (with some pink)!
thanks for the giveaway
October 7th, 2011I love the colors you’re using on these bocks, Monica. I love the red, pink and blue vs. the traditional red/green combo. Rock on lady!
Please toss my name in the hat for some of those scrumdiliumtious strips!
October 7th, 2011Today it’s teal, navy and grey. But I’m flexible/fickle :) It changes regularly!
October 7th, 2011currently grey, white and yellow! i know, not very fall-ish.
October 7th, 2011I LOVE those fabs!!!!!!!!
October 7th, 2011It too cliche? I’m a big red, white and blue fan. Sucker for it every time!

October 7th, 2011I love a tree in pants :) My fav color combo as always is pink, aqua & white!
October 7th, 2011I have never made a quilt block before but these tree pants seem just awesome! Excited to join in the fun. My favorite color combo right now is aqua cherry and white. Also I love Mochi Yum Yum designs! I am saving up for a FQ bundle.
October 7th, 2011I’m still in a ‘yellow, grey, white’ phase. Though, admittedly, I love almost any monochromatic set in three shades, too. Does that count?
October 7th, 2011Thanks for the giveaway, yo.
p.s.
…My tree wears the pants in the family.
My first sew along and my second quilting project - whee! I’m going scrappy. My fave 3 colors are purple, green and orange but I also really like purple with yellow and red or purple with grey…heck, I like purple with just about anything.
October 7th, 2011Love this! (although think my tree will be wearing a skort).
My current face trio is aqua, red, and white. Thanks for leading this!
October 7th, 2011I’m lovin’ teal, chocolate and latte…but more than likely will be a 30’s combo tomorrow…or maybe orange, fuschia & lime the next…I LOVE COLOR!!
October 7th, 2011Thank you for sharing your “pants” with us. :)
In general, favorite combo probably is purple, turquoise and pink are some of my favorite colors together.
October 7th, 2011I LOVE the mochi Yumyum aside from the ADORABLE NAME…anything with blue and green in it makes me sing!
October 7th, 2011My favorite color combo is yellow, green, and blue.
October 7th, 2011I love the idea of tree pants! My favourite three colours together are citron, gray, and plum. Yum!
October 7th, 2011My favorite right now is white/navy/silver.
Love the tutorial. I was secretly hoping we would be making them out of pants. Scrappy stars will do though. :-D
October 7th, 2011Recently, aqua, red and white. Definitely always red. Love you fabric!
October 7th, 2011OH…can’t wait to start! I am loving yellow, gray and white right now - can’t get enough!

October 7th, 2011Currently my favorite color combo is grey, white and red.
October 7th, 2011Your tutorials are the bestest! And who wouldn’t want Holiday Happy Mochi Yum Yum? Like everyone else, my favorites seem to change with time and the seasons. Right now I’m enamored with orange, aqua, and either bone or gray as a neutral.
October 7th, 2011Love your pant pattern (o: Guess I’ll have to make one for a friend …
October 7th, 2011My favorite color combo at the moment: lime green, turquoise, dark brown.
At the moment… teal, orange, and olive. Thanks for the giveaway :-)
October 7th, 2011Thanks for sharing,your tutorial is easy to follow for a new quilter like me. Right now I am making a baby quilt with light green, yellow and white in Wonky Log Cabin blocks.
October 7th, 2011Right now I really like blue, green, and pink. Can’t wait to get started on my pants!
October 7th, 2011Right now I am into red, teal and navy. May change tomorrow, though.
October 7th, 2011My favorite colors right now are gray, green and blue. Love muted, darker shades of those colors.
October 7th, 2011I’m new and lovin your blog. Thank you! Hard to pick three colors. I love color. I would say anything with turquoise.
October 7th, 2011Love the bright colors in your tree ‘pants’. Love to win the bundle. I’m liking black, white and grey right now.
October 7th, 2011I LOVE your tree ‘pants.’ I have just gotten to the point where I am making my own home decor for Christmas. I’ve got stockings made and my Christmas color palette of choice is red, aqua, and a minty green. I need to make a tree skirt/pants and these colors would totally match what I already have going!
October 7th, 2011My 3 favorite colors…Oh gosh…right now, It’s black turquoise (teal), and grey.
October 7th, 2011For Christmas, I love the combination you are showing. I also like pink, red and lime.
October 7th, 2011I’m not really a color snob and like lots of different combos but lately I’ve been loving yellow, black and grey/white.
October 7th, 2011I love those! My favorite color combo would have to be baby pink, baby blue and pastel green. I just LOVE light/pastel colors!
October 7th, 2011I love your work! Your color combos are OFF THE CHAIN and I since I’ve never participated in a SEW-A-LONG I’m doing this one! You’re just SO MUCH FUN! My favorite three color combination is RED, PURPLE and black! Yummy!
October 7th, 2011I never get tired of turquoise, red and pink!
October 7th, 2011Haven’t tried it yet but I’m thinking of combining gray, plum and white. I’m hoarding some Happy Mochi Yum Yum, but could really use some more!!
October 7th, 2011Soft yellows, greens and greys — my current faves — or may purple, yellow and white! So many colors, so little time!
October 7th, 2011Your stars are stinkin’ cute. So much for laundry this afternoon. I’m loving blue, green and orange right this minute.
October 7th, 2011I am really loving orange, mustard, and burgundy these days. I will play along. Everyone including the tree needs pants for those Christmas Morning photo ops.
October 7th, 2011I’m into red, cream and blue. Maybe this is just a phase, only time will tell.
October 7th, 2011Love your stars. Bright and cheerful.
Love your pattern and instructions are clear. I love red, grey and black to match my living room.
October 7th, 2011I am loving aqua, red, and green right now. I think they will be fun for Christmas! Thank You Monica for a chance to win!
October 7th, 2011I guess I need to make my tree some pants since I hardly ever wear a skirt. Usually only for church functions. I am loving red, yellow, and blue these days with a little bit of green thrown in for good luck! Thank you for the great project and giveaway!
October 7th, 2011Hmmm…my favorite is any combo with a true blue…love it with red and yellow, or grey and yellow, and especially chocolate and cream. I am redecorating my living room and you’d be surprised how little blue fabric there is!
October 7th, 2011RIght now…it’s aqua, red, and lime.
October 7th, 2011Color combo? I’m trying to work hot pink, aqua and lime into a retro/modern Christmas combo (and maybe a fab pant!) Saw a white feather tree at the thrift store last week. Didn’t get it. Must. Go. Back!
October 7th, 2011I’m all about high contrast right now with Berry, Turquoise, and White.
October 7th, 2011Right now my favorite color combo is white, gray and red. But it changes regularly! I love the Happy Mochi Yum Yum! Thanks for the chance to win!
October 7th, 2011at the moment i love pink, red & white. however it changes on a regular basis.
October 7th, 2011My first sew-along! Yay! I LOVE the blocks! And also the tutorial is very easy to understand. Thanks, Monica! btw, your fabric is very yummy indeed!! I like orange, aqua and white today :)
October 7th, 2011I have so many favorite combos!
Right now, I’m really enjoying periwinkle, light grey, and navy.
October 7th, 2011Here’s the deal sister….right now my favorite color combo is aqua, pink & white…but if I win…my favorite color will be that of the first pair of clean undies I grab. :O) I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR STUFF, MY HERO!!
October 7th, 2011My favorite three color combination…. probably hot pink, grey and white :)
October 7th, 2011I have several favorites. Red, aqua and pink. Aqua and orange. I’m also loving grey with just about any other color combo. I know that’s a lot but it’s hars to narrow it down to just one color combo. :)
October 7th, 2011I just love these blocks–I like the way the star “floats”. My three fav colors change from day to day. I’ve been cutting red and yellow strips and trying to decide if I want to add whit or black to them, or maybe even green. But, my old stand by is always jewel tones, esp. royal blue, purple and green.
October 7th, 2011love the block!! can’t wait to start it! right now the 3 color combo is grey~coral~turq. i hope you have a terrific weekend!
October 7th, 2011A classic: I love blue, yellow and white.
October 7th, 2011Lovely blocks…lovely fabric! I think I’m going to try it. My favourite colours change so often, I can’t decide on one.
October 7th, 2011Hi! Right now I love orange, aqua and white.
October 7th, 2011Thanks for the chance to win!
Yellow, black and grey. its just so classy.
October 7th, 2011What sweet little bundlettes! My favorite three colors are turquoise, orange and grey…today!!
October 7th, 2011OHMYGOSH you’re already teasing me. Will it really be pants? It seems like I need to make this. I don’t have a darling line of Christmas fabric so I might have to improvise. xoxo??u
October 7th, 2011Red, green,gold. Always. and turquoise.
October 7th, 2011So excited about dressing my tree this year! I think I tend to prefer magenta, blue, and brown. Makes it difficult to be Christmas themed!
October 7th, 2011Think I will join in the fun, my tree needs new pants.. Humm favorite color combo, I’m seeing so much gray lately I would like to mix it with some blue green and gold, sorry that’s four..haha So hard to pick just three. Thanks for hosting Monica you’re amazing!!
October 7th, 2011My favorite 3 color combos right now are grey, slate blue, and charcoal. I think they look nice. I very much like your bundles you’ve put together!
October 7th, 2011Well, who could resist a bundlette? Currently, I’m in favour of burnt orange, aqua and grey (not very original, but every time I sees it, I loves it). My tree will be wearing a skirt again this year b/c I’ve got too many other giftee things on the go…but who knows. Maybe next year we’ll go pants.
October 7th, 2011Oh goody! Another quilt along! Now to pick the fabrics it. At the moment I’m crushing on Mulberry, Marigold yellow, and Dove gray.
October 7th, 2011I will definitely have to join in because I have a stack of the same fabric and tree pants sound like fun! My favorite combo at the time is red, white and aqua. I cannot get enough!
October 7th, 2011Red is my fave color!!! Any other color is great too!!!
October 7th, 2011I had no intention of making pants for a tree- we don’t even have a tree inside. BUT you are so funny-Hair Club For Men- I’m in, not to mention the fab give away…Thanks. Now to find fabric:)
October 7th, 2011i am loving aqua, red and pink… but i always love red, white and blue :) i need some new pants for my tree :)
October 7th, 2011Too funny! Maybe one of these days I will learn to get the pictures out of my camera, and then a whole new step, posting to flicker! You would think your contest would help motivate me! I stil love the bright “neutrals” of lime green, fuschia, and another color… maybe white to keep with a neutral palette! It would be terrific to win a bundle so my tree would have pants! Love the look you created for this week!
October 7th, 2011What adorable fabrics! I’m thinking of fall these days and I still love the colors in a bag I knitted years ago–aubergine, pumpkin and leaf green.
October 7th, 2011I’m liking aqua, orange and white. But that changes when I see a beautiful quilt make with other colors too = )
October 7th, 2011I am feeling very fall like right now, I am thinking green orange and yellow, but like 70s shades of those colors. Don’t worry. Tomorrow it will change :)
October 7th, 2011I’m really liking grey, white and yellow today!!
October 7th, 2011man, if only I had more hours in the day, I so want to participate! Ah, well. I’ll live vicariously through the sew along and lurk on the Flickr pool. Oh, fave three color combo of the moment: ginger, cream, and lime.
October 7th, 2011I’m all about the tradition, I guess - cheddar,moss, and turkey red. Or brown, black and tan. Or red, red, and white. Aargh! Thanks for the sew along.
October 7th, 2011Red, white and aqua….supplies!!!!
October 7th, 2011xox
Well now, what a lovely bit of fabric. I love all color so its hard to offer just one trio of color preference. Right now I am really liking turquoise, light lime green and a purple that is a med to dark tone.
October 7th, 2011I’m loving brown and aqua love theses tree pants can not wait to start
October 7th, 2011I’m in a pretty sincere red/aqua/pink phase.
Then again, it is fall, which bodes well for my true love, bright orange.
Orange/Aqua/Brown is always a good call. :-)
Love the fabrics in your bundle. Thought I had my mind decided on red and white, but now I’m thinking maybe scrappy? Love how your blocks look on this post.
Ready to start and super excited!!!!
October 7th, 2011I really wanna come but I’m busy moving house this week…after that though I’ll be there with bells on! Fab three colour combos atm would be purple, yellow and teal.
October 7th, 2011That’s an easy one! Aqua, yellow, gray. :) Love….
October 7th, 2011I’m sorry. I like far too many colors to narrow it down. . . . though I’m pondering redoing our living room quite similar to Lindsey’s fave. . .golden wheat, grey, and aqua.
October 7th, 2011My favourite colours are pink, lime and white…. (if white is class as a colour).
October 7th, 2011My fave 3 colour combo is turquoise, grey and orange. Given the chance, I’d probably throw in some plum or fuschia too :)
October 7th, 2011Favorite color combo……..hmmmmmmmm…….anything with yellow!
October 7th, 2011my favorite three color combo is the somewhat bright lime , aqua, and pink. It’s hard not to be cheerful with those colors around!

October 7th, 2011I love your christmas fabric!!! Favourite colour combo at the minute is grey turquoise and plum…

October 8th, 2011Oops - me again - am wondering if all the harvest fest-ing has gone to my pumpkin brain! How much total fabric do I need? I was hoping to use 5 different half yard cuts of pink Holiday Happy. Thx!
================================
October 8th, 2011No worries, Karen!
The fabric requirements (for the red & white and the scrappy versions) are listed on Day 1 of the Sew,Mama,Sew! sew-along post. Of course, feel free to make your own modifications, adjustments and style (and I can’t wait to see what you do!). Happy sewing - Monica
Perfect - I have been wanting to learn how to make these!!
October 8th, 2011I love the tree pants pattern. I definitely will add this to my ever-growing list of “must-haves.” Your scrappy blocks are oh so pretty, and in my favorite color combination, too! I’d love to win the bundle so I can make pants for my tree that looks just like yours! BTW, love your blog - been a long-time follower (erh, stalker). I’m in No. Cal, too, originally from Honolulu, HI!
October 8th, 2011I love these bundles! Such a great color combination. Right now, my favorite trio has been violety purple, vibrant orange, and grey. My tree won’t be wearing pants in this combo however…
October 8th, 2011oh, I think I’ll have to join this sew-along as well … :-) At the moment I really love the combo of aqua, mustard and grey. But almost any aqua-combo is great in my book. :-)
October 9th, 2011My first sew along, so excited! My favorite combo is pale lemon, aqua and a popping pink.
October 9th, 2011My favorite threesome today would be black, white and aqua. Love your fabrics!
October 9th, 2011My favorite color combo right now is brown, blue aqua & green… but I’m sure next month it could be different. Love the sew along….
October 9th, 2011I love the block (and tree pants). I just found it today so I’m going to get started tomorrow. Right now at this very moment my favorite color trio is orange, purple, and turquoise.
October 9th, 2011Love the star blocks! My current favorite 3 colors are red, white and turquiose!
October 9th, 2011Hi Monica, my tree wants a red and aqua pair of pants…very modern, don’t you think? ;0
October 9th, 2011Today my favorite combo is brown, orange and red. I made this block last week for a Halloweeny wallhanging. Think I’m gonna love these tree pants.
October 9th, 2011Wow - seeing your palette may make me change my mind, but currently I am obsessed with yellow, gray and light blue. I really love your scrappy version though!
October 9th, 2011Hmm right now I’d say mine are yellow, gray and white. I just find that a very peaceful combo at the moment! Thanks for this opportunity! This is only the third thing I’ve ever sewn so I’m nervous and excited!
October 9th, 2011I’m currently having a color combo block.. I love them ALL, and I’m having a hard time choosing. HELP!
October 9th, 2011I just ordered some kona solids in corn yellow, tangerine, and bahama blue that I’m really excited to see in person. I think they’ll go great together with some white, maybe in a zig zag print, and then I’m going to put a black and white zig zag print on the back that will go BAM!
October 9th, 2011Gorgeous fabrics and I love the pattern you chose to work with…
October 9th, 2011My 3 fav color combo is orange, light blue or teal blue & white, just love the freshness :)
Wow, love the fabric, the colours are right up my alley. I love red and pink at the moment!
October 9th, 2011Red turquoise and grey.
October 9th, 2011My favourite 3 color combo, right now, is acid green (as in pistachio), yellow and red.
October 10th, 2011I’ve never participated in a sew along but this looks like a wonderful place to start!
October 10th, 2011Love your fabric. It’s just a big ole’ smile of colors in fabric.
October 10th, 2011My favorite color combo currently is aqua, red, and white.
I’ve been loving turquoise, orange and yellow. Love the giveaway!
October 10th, 2011I love Love LOVE all your fabric especially the turquoise, red, and ANYTHING with a gnome on it.!
October 10th, 2011Turquoise, orange and lime. Love the pants!
October 10th, 2011So many amazing color combination, but currently it’s teal, yellow and dove grey.
October 10th, 2011I like the version in the past post too! I think this is our first Christmas here, so the tree needs some pants.
October 10th, 2011I like any combination I am working with at the moment. Right now it is oranges, plums, and browns. Love your fabric.
October 10th, 2011Just finished my first block - in red and white. I can’t call it tree pants though - I live in the UK and that is saying I am dressing my tree in underwear!
October 10th, 2011Mmm - I can’t decide on a three colour combo either - probably pale blue, eau-de-nil and cream; however I would probably choose a different set tomorrow.
