At 9:20 You ask "Does that make sense?" I was over here nodding along to the entire explanation. You made it really easy to understand so kudos 👍😂 I sometimes have a hard time following tutorials but this was perfect! I'm hoping I can rope one of my 11 year olds into wanting to help me make one because this would be a perfect beginner project! I have experience making toy "pickup bags" and also tiered skirts, so everything done here is something I'm familiar with. The one thing I plan on doing that you didn't mention is using a lighter to heat treat the ribbon ends because fraying ribbon on such a cute project would be the worst! Thank you for the tutorial. I'm new, so I'm gonna subscribe and go check out some of your other videos ❤💚❤💚❤
I think you could add batting just fine. I'd suggest either stitching it down to one of the layers or using a spray adhesive to ensure it stays in place before sewing the layers.
Sorry if i missed it in the video, but what is the diameter of your finished skirt? I have a small tree too (4ft) & I'm wondering if i could also get away with using a yd of fabric!
For this skirt, the diameter came out to be 36" with the ruffles. The suggestion for tree skirts is they should be 6" bigger than the tree width. I have a table on the blog post with suggestions for tree skirt size based on tree size. That should help you. www.sewsimplehome.com/2023/11/reversible-christmas-tree-skirt-pattern.html#point3

This is exactly what I was gonna make. So glad to find a video for it
So glad you found us! Hope your tree skirt turns out amazing.

So glad you liked it and it made sense. Hope you and your kids can make one!
This is how I made ruffles but I used two lines of stitches
Two lines is always a good choice. Makes much more even ruffles. Thanks for sharing
If I want to do padding in between would this way to work be successful? Or any suggestions to make it easier with padding inside?
