DIY Quilted Christmas Tree Sewing Kit with Santa, Elf, Angel and More

A DIY kit for sewing a quilted fabric Christmas tree for the table, built tier upon tier from pointed patchwork in plaid, snowflake and holly prints, with a little Santa, reindeer, snowman, angel, elf or gingerbread man sitting on top. The quilted fabric panels for your style come in the kit, with a printed panel for the figure on top, the thread, needles, pins, stuffing and a pair of scissors. Clear a corner of the table and start on the bottom tier. When the last point is stitched down, there is a tree on the mantel that you made yourself.

No fabric to choose. No thread to match. No trip out for stuffing.

Layer on layer of soft quilted points

Every tier is a ring of pointed fabric pieces, softly padded and edged with a line of cream stitching, and each one sits a little smaller than the tier below it. Stacked up, the points overlap like the branches of a fir. The outline steps in toward the top, and from across the room the whole thing reads as one tree. The prints are the classic vintage kind: tartan plaid, scattered snowflakes, holly leaves and berries, and tiny festive motifs tucked in between.

The print changes from point to point, so the patchwork looks busy up close and calm from a distance. It stands on its own on a mantel, a sideboard or a shelf. No lights, no tree stand.

Six styles, each with its own prints

The Santa is the traditional choice, a white-bearded Santa in a red hat above tiers of red and green plaid, holly and snowflakes, with small Santa faces scattered through. The Reindeer swaps him for a soft brown reindeer with antlers and a red bow tie, over green, red and cream prints of gingerbread men, candy canes and stockings. The Snowman wears a knit hat and a red scarf, and his tree brings in a pale icy blue among the red and green.

The Angel is the quietest of the six, an angel with golden curls and cream wings over tiers of cream, gold and sage green dotted with poinsettias and stars. The Elf peeks out from a striped hat with pointed ears, above red, green and cream prints of rocking horses, teddy bears and candy canes. And the Gingerbread Man sits on top of a tree in gingerbread, peppermint swirl and red gingham prints. The Set of 6 brings one kit of each, enough for a whole row along a sideboard.

A project for the evenings, a decoration for years

There is something settling about a project that grows one tier at a time. A few points after dinner, the radio on, a warm drink beside the fabric. Put it down halfway through a tier and you pick up exactly where you left off the next evening.

Once it is finished, it works on the living room mantel, the middle of the dining table, an entryway console or the corner of an office desk. And every year, when the decorations come out of the box, one of them is a tree you stitched yourself.
