The tree skirt is actually pretty easy. I bought the Phillips Art Wedge Ruler, 10 degree, and it has the pattern on the back with the ruler. It goes by fast because you sew strips together, then cut with the ruler. I taught this as a class and had many samples. The one I need to do now is all the pieces from the skirts I made. It will look interesting in the end, but will be fun. Unless I decide to make them table toppers. That could be a better idea.
