I'm not one for making holiday looking stuff, but it made me remember that once, long ago, I made a Santa tree skirt. Don't know for the life of me whatever happened to it. ...
Anyway, I did just get a few fat quarters of some terribly cute xmas fabric, and trying to figure out what to do with it... before I packed it away into my stash never to be found again...
So I sort of recalled what the tree skirt pattern was. I remembered the triangle shapes, and it was a very easy thing to make... So I got my bristol board, marked off a big triangle in the center...
*Divided that in half to make the hat, and three triangles across the bottom for a beard, and jacket...
*I added a strip for the white fur and tassel, but I think the one I originally did, did not have that...

*I dug into my stash and found some glitter stars, cut some felt for eyes and noses, and ran out down the block and found a great sale on fabric. I needed white but I came back with this...
($3 a yard!! for designer prints....) Beats all those annoyingly price fixed $9 a yard fabrics!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK8xjxxoDRMpQl4aIib2Y612UFqWzilpOLEA2auxUaSSJVvAvnMnROjPShRFjnETJNHuYn7yon9yJUeEwkBYuX4oUur1BSgtkwPbiJDZXXasVOPkvQmuLkDEVdFm0Nl_20B87g79bMlM0/s320/fabr.jpg)
They had stuff stacked the the ceiling... what a hunt!
I have to figure out what I want to do to finish the Santa lap quilt. Maybe use up my scraps and make a running piano key border, or squares... with lots of white... Makes the Santas pop out nice!

ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest Santas I ever did see.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the mention! :-) We're in the housing market!
Cute Santas! And SCORE on the fabric! Cool.
ReplyDeleteLove th santa's - what store had all that fabric so cheap? I wish I lived down the block from that store. Well... actually I'm glad I don't... I would really be broke buying up all those "bargains"!
