#Tree Skirt

Finished my tree skirt lmfao. Gotta have the little dingles on there 🍒

Never fear, I also still make things with my own two hands! I warped for the tree skirt I’ve been promising to make for like…ahem let’s not calculate. Anyway! I was going to do just regular buffalo plaid but then I decided to match the colors of our stockings; there are 4 of us, so the stockings are a white colorwork pattern on either red, maroon, grass green, or dark green backgrounds. Like this:

So the plaid tree skirt will use all those colors, which I plotted out on a plaid planner online first and then marked out with washable marker on my heddle so I didn’t have to keep counting while doing a very wide warp.

I’m not sure that it will be wide enough, actually - I may end up making two cloths and sewing them together, but we’ll see. There will be a ruffle along one of the selvedges so that will give me some length but I’ll have to test to make sure it actually covers the tree stand. Anyway here is a plaid reveal! I’m really pleased with how it’s looking, the colors look great and my squares are squaring lol.

I’m also just cutting the threads on the right side instead of carrying them; that’s where the ruffle will be attached so I’m just going to use my serger to finish that side before I wash and sew it. My sides turned out super wavy on my last plaid so I’m hoping to avoid that this time!

How I make fusili fringe (twisted fringe). For softer, floppier fusili, twirl less/pull a longer loop. I did 15 twirls on this with a 10cm long loop, because I want these to withstand being put away with the Christmas tree. This was a Christmas tree skirt!

I think i was listening to Babish in the background so, have fun with that. Edited version on my IG.

I always love watching the Prep & Landing shorts when the holidays roll around!! All the call signs, fun codenames, and the whole operative look into what happens behind the scenes on Santa's big night… I still think it's so cool! (And constantly think about how the Reindeer's callsigns are "Eight Maids A Milking" 😂😂)

If you're bringing in a real pine tree, as it decomposes it will start shedding its needles. A tree skirt is necessary for collecting these. This link has five tree skirts, but you can also make a small quilt, just wide enough to catch all the needles, and put the tree on top of it.
