Hi everyone! I am Elizabeth, one half of the duo of sisters-in-law who blog at Simple Simon and Company. And if there is one thing that we love at Simple Simon, it's a great simple sewing project that can be done in an afternoon. With that being said, project is no exception to that simple and easy sewing rule…..with the addition that these fun little Christmas trees will use up some of your fabric scrap stashes as well!!! Now that's a bonus!
Here's what you need to get started.
*Fabric scraps (for front and one large piece for the backing)
*batting
*small square of brown felt
*cutting mat/rotary cutter (or scissors)
*small scrap of ric rac or ribbon for hanger
Elizabeth and liZ are two girls who married brothers and ended up with the exact same name. They both love all things sewing, crafting, thrifting and trying to perfect the art of homemaking. They each have three kids, the same minivan and an ideal weekend would be filled with family time and endless sewing projects. You can find out more at Pinterest and Facebook.

I love the lawn and the double gauze for sewing for my granddaughter – and the canvas would be great for totes!
If I won the gift certificate, I’d order pink check canvas fabric.
Two words : Double Gauze!
I’d purchase beautiful fabric, like COTTON LAWN BLACK MULTI FLORAL 1/2 YARD
$8.50. There are so many pretty florals there.
Oh by the way my Pinterest Page is at http://www.pinterest.com/lauraleehensley/boards/
I think I’d get some cotton lawn or the canvas … not sure! Thanks for the chance.

I love the birds on yellow, and really anything with birds on it wins in my book.
