Deb2bie 2 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Love Sheena's dress and now the tree skirt!!! it is stunning in both uses!!! My cousin ahd her wedding dress made into a Christenming gown for her children. Her dress was white cotton eyelet. Both dresses were beautiful and so much better used in this way.

hollyc 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have seen this done with baby/ little girl dresses. They are basically appliqued to the quilt top. I can't imagine doing that to a full size wedding dress though. It would be a fun project to tackle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

donnavans 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 The tree skirt is absolutely lovely. What is the name of the pattern for the Christmas tree skirt? I really like this pattern. I am doing a Christmas tree skirt using Christmas fabrics for my son and daughter-in-law. I would like to use this pattern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDY-MN 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I started with "SnowFalling on Cedars/Tannenbaum Tree Skirts" by Aardvark Quilts. I changed things up from a finished size of 37" diameter to 82" diameter. To make my "stars" I changed the width of the piecing so it finished at 4" & 2" for the stripes when sewn together. I also used a cotton foundation & sewed my stripes to that as the satin just wanted to stretch even with a iron on interfacing on it. So, needless to say I didn't use the directions, just did it my way. Thanks for looking. Happy Thanks Giving to All! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
