Christmas Tree Pants


I finished my Christmas Tree Pants.
This was super fun to make. BUT...I was in too much of a rush or just plain ol' not paying attention when I assembled the top! I was 3/4 of the way done machine quilting in all the patchwork areas when I found my mistake! 
 The 2 patchwork blocks were suppose to be center top and center middle! 
So I improvised and hand appliqued a star on top of the bottom right corner patchwork square.
Then, I had NO CLUE how to do a binding around a circle, so I made mine kinda gathered. It's not perfect, but it will work, and who will really see it since it will be around the trunk of a tree, covered with presents!

 I'm happy the way it turned out and I think it will look nice under a tree.
 (sorry about the pics...had to take them inside since it's been raining all day!)

  1. Not mistakes - designer choices or designer bling!! Circles need a bias binding - but like you said it is under the tree.
