Fun Little Project

November 13, 2024

I promised you in yesterday’s post that I would share this fun little project I worked on over the weekend. With the holidays coming at the speed of light, this might be a little pattern you want to have in your arsenal of quick things to make. This is a small foundation paper-pieced project that uses little bits from your scrap bins.

This cute little tree pattern was designed by Carolina Asmussen, the Dec. 1st Mini Christmas Ornament. It is a free download on her site. The little tree is 3 inches unfinished. It was an enjoyable afternoon of sewing, even with the “help” I had.

Once the trees were pieced, I backed them with fusible fleece. Then cut four 3-inch backings of red fabric, and also cut four strings around 7-1/2 inches long. I folded the string in half, centered it on the tree block, then placed the backing on top, right sides together. I did a quick stitch around, leaving and opening, turned it right side out, and hand stitched the opening closed.

Four simple, quick gifts that can be hung on a tree or on a hook, added to a gift wrapping, etc.

I’ve enjoyed another pattern from Carolina that had me sidetracked a few years ago. You can read about that little diversion here.

So there you go – a fun little project to get your holiday sewing revved up! Enjoy!
