Christmas Tree Napkin « back to project list

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...

I helped my 4th graders make paper trees like this, and we used them as Christmas Cards. Instead of rick rack, we cut scallop designs. I forgot to take my decorative scissors or we would have trimmed the edges with them. They turned out so cute.

I thought you had used you stitches from your machine to make the one side. Sure is pretty. Wish we had some place to buy pretty material like that. I know buy it over the internet. But I like to feel my material first. :)

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?

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
