Snowman Party
The beauty of a Christmas tree decorated with pretty ornaments always puts a person into the holiday spirit. As you look at this completed skirt you will see that each little snowman is totally different than the one next to it. It is one of my original patterns. The skirt measures 19 inches in diameter, and made of felted wool. The soft green background fabric is covered in roving wool, and snippets of glittery snowflake ribbon. I then placed the snowmen onto the background, added ribbons and yarns to make the scarves and covered it with bridal tulle. Then the fun began. I thread painted with my sewing machine using a quilting foot. I gave the snowmen twig arms, added fringe to the scarves, and stitched on their happy faces. They even wear eyeglasses and smoke a corncob pipe. I couldn’t resist the little carrot buttons for their noses and tiny buttons sewn down their fronts. It is backed with a pretty olive green felted wool and machine quilted. I added swirls of glitter for additional sparkle. There is even smoke coming out of the pipe. This lovely tree skirt would look great under your tree this holiday season. All of the items I create are made in my pet free, smoke free home studio. This Christmas tree skirt sells for $75.00 plus shipping and handling.
