Root "Deer", A Great Last-minute Gift Idea

After seeing some of the rein"beer" projects on Pinterest, my daughter and I came up with our own Root "Deer" version for Grandpa last Christmas.  We used Create a Critter for the little reindeer and Winter Woodland for the font.

Ruffled a Tree Skirt

I love all the pretty ones on Pinterest. So I bought a plain red felt tree skirt from Target, drew concentric (nice word :), I know) circles on it 3" apart, and cut strips of fabric 4" wide. I used the awesome gathering foot for the ruffles for the first time. I was ruffling so fast that I wanted to do a happy dance! I also left all edges raw except for the satin, which I serged.


Oh yeah, it could also be a "skirt"....according to Joy. :)
