Greenish Circle!

that was my goal...and I think I got it!

I have had the same Christmas tree skirt for awhile, can't even remember when...maybe 10 years?

anyways, I got it 1/2 off after Christmas one year, when the selection is NOTHING...so I was probably settling on something that I wouldn't have chosen in the 1st place...but those skirts are crazy expensive!

so last year, while packing up the Christmas stuff I left the tree skirt out to use as a pattern for a new one...and I would do it in like February...or March...I wasn't wanting to use Christmas material so I didn't need to wait until August when it all hits the shelves....
so there the skirt sat in my laundry room/sewing pile of stuff...and I'd move it from pile to pile while organizing or looking for something...
and then the week before Thanksgiving I decided it was time...
I only  had 3 major requests of the end product
*greenish...I was ready to change it up, the previous skirt had been navy blue
*circle-roundish form
*Christmasy and festive without using Christmas material....

I'm not going to give you a step by step...
well, because it'd would be embarrassing at how BAD I really am at sewing...I just pretend I know what I'm doing...and with that head-in-the-sand outlook I make projects with using patterns!

here is a glimpse of the process....

cut these all out only to realize that I didn't have enough...now off to find a different fabric to match and pull it all together...oh, and that's when I realized I also wanted something on the back....

 end product...don't mind the 'Littlest Pet Shop' toy in the corner...

ties on the back portion and a peek-a-boo at the underside fuzzy green...

so I did it...it's a greenish-non-Christmasy circle tree skirt!
