I used my rectangle piece of felt for the project, so this new tree skirt was FREE to me! Much cheaper than this one anyways. I also enlarged the pattern by 200%. I like a bigger skirt for presents to sit on (trust me, presents will be sitting pretty under there shortly). I could only fit 14 pattern pieces, instead of the 16 the project called for, but it still works great. I think this fits my tree MUCH better.
And! I made it in less than 30 minutes yesterday while both the children happened to be miraculously sleeping at the same time. It makes it that much more wonderful.

It looks great Kim! And what a deal that you got to use your old one instead of having to buy more material. I like the scalloped edges. Very Cute.
I'm glad my magazine was useful :-). It looks great!
I don't know if you read this blog, but she posted her felt tree skirt today and it's amazing. If you want to spend another 7 hours on yours, you can take a look: http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2009/12/make-embroidered-felt-tree-skirt.html
