Make Your Own Holiday Decor + Ornaments with Tim Holtz Palette Fabric!
Hi friend! Happy Monday! Please join me in welcoming back again today Richele Christensen for a gorgeous and festive variety of decorations you can make with the vibrant and wonderful Tim Holtz Palette Fabrics! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hello friends! Today I’m back with a festive project for the holidays that’s easy for beginners. I thought it would be fun to make some Christmas Trees and ornaments. I pulled out my Tim Holtz Palette Christmas fabrics. I love these vintage inspired fabrics. There is a beautiful collection with a Collage fabric, Holly, Linen Stripe, Worn Plaid, and a Remnants print. They will be perfect! for this project. Let’s get started!
For the small trees cut your fabric 4” X 4”. Cut 2 for the front and back. You can change the size of your trees by adding or decreasing to the height and/or width (4” x 5” , 3” x 4”, etc.). I used a pinking cutter to have a cute edge.
Fold the layers in half lengthwise and cut from the bottom corner to the top fold creating a triangle.
Cut several different colors and shapes.
Sew around the outside edge leaving an opening at the bottom. Stuff the trees as desired. I used a chop stick to push the batting in.
Sew the bottom almost closed except for a little whole for the stem to go in.
Insert a stick into the center and hot glue in place.
Tie a torn piece of fabric, twine or ribbon around the stick. Embellish trees as desired.
I found a little log for my base and drilled holes for the trees to sit in. Be sure to drill straight up and down so the trees sit up straight.
Place your tree in the holes and adhere.
If you’d like to create a hanging tree to make an ornament insert a string loop at the top when sewing around the edge. I tied a knot in the loop for security.
Sew around the edge leaving an opening, stuff with batting as desired and sew closed.
Embellish with candy canes, flair buttons, snowflakes , bells etc.
This would be a great project with friends or your kids. Thanks so much for stopping by and happy sewing!

Charcoal Plover Pouches with Tim Holtz Palette Fabric!
Hi friend! Happy Monday!! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Richele Christensen and we’re highlighting the versatile and lovely charcoal fabric released this month from Tim Holtz Ecclectic Elements collection! The pattern Richele used can be found HERE if you’d like to give this a go! Read on and enjoy!
Hello friends! Have you noticed how colorful the Palette Charcoal Collection by Tim Holtz is. I know they’re just black and white but the designs are so stunning. I choose a few of my favorite designs and made these beautiful Charcoal Plover Pouches. I love these particular pouches by Anna Graham of NoodleHead Patterns. They feature a large gusted bottom so they stand up and open wide for easy access, they have a mesh pocket inside and the medium and large pouches have a zippered pocket inside. Noodlehead has a wonderful video from her sew a long to help you make them. These Pouches would be wonderful in any of the Palette fabrics.
- Cut out all the pieces using your favorite Palette Charcoal fabrics. For this small pouch I’ve used the Moths fabric for the outside and the Handwriting for the lining and the accent is the Vintage.
- Prepare your main zipper by adding the ends and side tabs.
- Sew together the gusset pieces for the outside and the lining pieces.
- Make the inside pocket by sewing the folded elastic to the top of the mesh pocket and then baste to the lining. You can add stitching to create a divided pocket if desired.
- Sew the gusset to both of the sides pieces. Repeat for lining. Add the zipper unit and sew along the top.
- Turn right side out through the hole in the bottom.
- Sew the bottom closed by stitching close to the edge.
- Top stitch around top edge about 1/8” from the edge.
- Add the snaps to each side as an accent or you could use a button.
- Give the Pouch a good press with the iron.
Fill it with all the things and enjoy. Thanks so much for stopping in today and happy sewing! -Richele
