Hi all!
I’m here again today with an easy bag for this holiday season! The pattern is from
Basic Tree Skirt
Materials:
-Two Yards of Fabric (If larger than 36” fabric, see step 1)
-Rotary Tool
-Cutting Mat
-Bias Tape

Nevertheless, I finished this last weekend and I love the way it turned it. The pattern was incredibly easy to read and understand. Shabby Fabrics are some of my favorite patterns; they are perfect for beginners. To purchase yours, click the following link:
