Quilt Studio Sewing Christmas tree

Ok, this tree can’t actually sew!   The ornaments are sewing related.

• Collect several small spools of brightly colored thread.
• Make a loop from colored cord, adding a knot to tie the ends together.
• Slip the loop through the spool, and hang them from the branches!
• Purchase several mini sewing kits with the tiny spools of thread, tiny travel scissors and mini pin cushion.
• Use hot glue to join the sewing components together. Add a colorful cord or ribbon loop hanger.
• Tie a ribbon through tiny embroidery scissors, small rotary cutters, various sewing tools.
• Create a spool of thread ornament, topped with a gathered lace circlet and an inexpensive thimble. Hot glue the components together, and hang with a ribbon loop.
• Keep your eye open for cute sewing ornaments – tiny sewing machines, little mice with thimbles, needlework ornaments.
• Create your own stitched Temari Ball ornaments. I made these in the late 1970’s while living in Japan.
• Save or create your own fabric postcards to celebrate the season!
