Tutorial: Fabric origami Christmas tree wall hanging

This Christmas tree wall hanging is made from triangles of fabric folded and stitched together.  Nanny from NannyNotes2U shares a tutorial showing how to do it.  Each section of the tree is made from a folded triangle unit.  There are spaces between to hang bells or other ornaments.  She has made these for nursing homes, so residents can have their own Christmas decorations hanging in their rooms.

Many studies claim that the Japanese originated origami around a thousand years ago, however its origins might be in China. It is also quite likely that the folding method was used on other materials before paper was developed, therefore the origins of leisure folding may be traced back to cloth or leather.

  1. I tried to access this tutorial which was apparently being offered ‘Make a Fabric Origami Xmas Tree, by NannyNotes2U’. However when I clicked on the link, permission was denied and I received a message that it was only for invited guests. Can you help?

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
