This DIY fabric Christmas tree by Pattymac Makes on YouTube is a cute vintage decor to have around the house during the holidays, and it makes a great Christmas gift idea. There are many patterns out there if you can’t find this specific one. This pattern has the perfect balance of machine and hand sewing. I love how on one of her fabric Christmas tree, she adds small little ornaments to add extra holiday bling. I think this is a creative way to add a holiday personal touch decor to your house. Plus, there are many fabric designs to create all kinds of different Christmas tree looks.
Supplies:
- 7/8 yard of cotton quilting fabric
- Cotton Thread
- PolyFil stuffing
- Felt
- Embroidery Floss
- Christmas Tree Pattern (the one in the tutorial is Simplicity 9649. It can still be found on Etsy and eBay)
- Fabric Scissors
- Straight Pins
- Disappearing Ink Pen
- Hand Sewing Needle
- Sewing Machine
Directions:
First, turn the fabric right side together with two thicknesses of the fabric. Fold in half selvage to selvage. Trace, mark, and cut out the pattern piece. Use a disappearing ink pen or chalk and mark the openings along the bottom of the trees and mark the apex of the stitch lines around the tree shape.
Next, continue to watch Pattymac Makes tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details. Once the trees are sewed together, stuff the compartments, and hand sew the openings closed using a ladder stitch.

This is a beginner-friendly sewing project, and it looks more complicated than it seems. Pattymac does a great job organizing and giving time stamps on her YouTube video on the different sewing process. It’s amazing to see that because a lot of sewing tutorials can get confusing and hard to follow along with.
