Allsorts: Christmas. Today I'd like to share one of my more recent freebie patterns, my Festive Felt Trees!

allsorts: Christmas

This is from last year, but not many people are aware of this project because I haven't had a link in the sidebar for it. The pattern is in two parts (links to the full-size pdfs are at the end of this post) but it basically looks like this: They stitch up very quickly by hand. Print the numbered pattern pieces and use them to cut out your felt. I used my scallop pinking shears to cut the bottom of each arc, but regular pinked or smooth cut would look cute, too. You will be sewing the arcs together while flat, then stitch the back seam to form the cone. The pieces will overlap by about 1/4" inch. Here it is all pinned and ready to stitch: It's easy to nestle a small stitch in each scallop. After stitching all the arcs together, fold in half with wrong sides together, so the sides meet and form the back seam (if you first fold the tippy end of the treetop in a bit that will help it look tidier).

Simply Gorgeous! Happy Celebrating Kathryn No comments yet. All Things Lovely. I am little obsessed with Instagram at the moment, especially since I'm doing the Photo A Day challenge.

All Things Lovely

Friends sometimes ask what apps I use for all my photos so I thought I'd share my favourites. This isn't a sponsored post, just my favourite and most used apps. I take the majority of my photos just with the camera on the iPhone. I never use the camera in the Instagram App, and will only edit my photos in Instagram if I'm in a hurry. I do love the Brannan filter though. Mt first normal step is to open the photo on Afterlight. Once I've done that I often want to add a filmy grain to it. Once I've jazzed it all up, I'll either move it to Snapseed or Camera+. Last step is moving into Camera+ to add the border.
