Christmas Tree Napkin
I am in a little sewing group that meets once a week. One of our ladies brought these in as a project for us all to make. It is a half circle of two sided fabric. When folded it becomes a Christmas tree. Used as a napkin for Christmas.. I am thinking of a way to embroider on them...

If anyone needs to know where to buy it, I got it from this website for only $5, plus a couple dollars to ship! It is so fun & a great gift! They don't have a picture, but it is the same pattern... http://www.thequiltingcupboard.com/products.html

Cut two different color fabrics from the pattern and sew them together right sides together, leave 3-4" unsewed to turn. Put the rickrack around the rounded edge...A link to another site that has a similiar project is below...

This is so nice. Would you mind emailing the pattern to me? I was at a quilting retreat this weekend and one of the lady's showed a set of these. I tried to catch up to her to get a pattern but missed her.

Thanks for all your kind comments.. We have 8 members in our little sewing group. We are all going to make 8 and trade with one another, so we will all go home with 8 different napkins...

I like the idea - I had don the circles with my serger, and then folded to look like a tree. We did embroidery around edge, but had to fold just perfectly, or it did not look right. So - just did the cirles, and used metalic threads. Great idea.

Fantastic! What a cool idea. SO the trick is all in how it's folded I gather?

Very simple, but great idea! That gold trim is very effective. Nice way to use up a number of my fat quarters - oh dear - I mean the fat quarters of Christmas prints that are in my stash!

2 replies to this comment by ddoersch 15 Nov 2008 the straight edge (diameter is about 18") We cut two semi-circles, put them right sides together and sewed the ric-rac on the curved edge, left a small turn hole turned right side out and viola' Here is a link for a similiar one with a template, but she only used one layer of fabric and serged the edges. http://home.att.net/~sewandsew/christmas.html

Beautiful!!!! I made some of these a few years ago but not in the same manner....Yours definately look much nicer...I now have a use for all that christmas fabric I purchased at 90 percent off last year. The ones I made were done with a single cut circle, then serged with wooly nylon with a narrow rolled hem then folded it into the tree shape shape...Thanks for sharing...Looks like I have my next project planned now! :) *4u
