Tree Skirt

I picked up sewing as a new hobby in 2010. Thanks to some very inspiring and creative friends and a multitude of internet tutorials, I'm not doing too bad. I really don't know how someone from a non-sewing family would ever have learned before the internet though!

Following the tutorial here, I made my own version of a new skirt for our Christmas tree. It's not perfect, but a definite improvement over our makeshift tablecloth one we've been using. This was a great project for me because I learned a lot of new techniques - log cabin, bias tape (thanks to this tutorial and this video), binding (thanks to another tutorial that I can't find again), and I applied a snap.
