LET’S SEW A TREE

Usually I avoid to use IKEA fabrics, because you see them everywhere and therefore i find them pretty boring. OK, there are some really classy plaid IKEA fabrics which I don’t want to miss.

And there is one new fabric at IKEA that is very, very nice - a bit retro style. But the pattern is very big so it’s difficult to use it except for curtains or bed linen. Well, I really had to buy this fabric because I like it so much - but we don’t need new curtains or bed linen

Some days ago I had an idea and here is the tutorial. It’s really simple and the result is very decorative.

Let’s start:

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Drive to IKEA and buy a piece of the fabric FREDRIKA with the cute trees on it:

  2. Step 2 2

    Cut them out and neat the edges:

  3. Step 3 3

    Decorate them - just as you like it. They look really nice even if you use them without extra decoration:

  4. Step 4 4

    Put the two halfs one on another - face to face - and sew them together. Of yourse you have to leave a little opening to fill the wadding inside the tree. Finally you close the tree by hand with the blind stitch:

  5. Step 5 5

    And - that’s it!

    You can hang the tree into a window, use it as a decoration or even as a pillow.

    If you sew your own IKEA fabric tree: Leave a link to your work! I’m very curious
