The handmade tree got a new skirt this week. I love this alexander henry yuletide 2d zoo fabric so much. So festive and cute. I cut out some animals from the scraps and make them into ornaments for the tree. This tree should see a lot of action next week when O’s done with school. I’ve got a stack of ideas waiting for him.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Oh I love that fabric, too and the ornaments! What a great idea.
Ooo I love it! Especially the trim!
Looks great! I love the simplicity, and that you really just let the fabric shine.
I love Alexander Henry fabrics, that Yule Zoo is so festive! The skirt came out great!
Ha! So cute!! I love that fabric too. I even saw some at JoAnn which was lovely.
I love the pom pon edging! A tree skirt is one of the things that I never got around to this year. My old one got lost in the move and I’ve currently just got some muslin wrapped around the base. Maybe next year!
GREAT idea with the ornaments, and that fabric is SO cute. i always have a little tree in my kids’ room and some soft ornaments would be great.
Love the cut out fabric decorations! I’m on a mission to make some toddler safe decorations this week, and I’m sure I’ve got some of that fabric kicking around…
I just saw that fabric at Purl – and swoon! I hope to order some soon!
great idea to take the scraps and make ornaments— love that print.
SO cute! The ornaments are genius! What is the red around the edges? Zigzag red thread, binding?
Lovely – such gorgeous fabric and colours! The decorations are a great idea too.

That is terrific and it looks like it wouldn’t take so much time that I wouldn’t get the knitted gifts done!
