Our last guest artist of the year, Amanda from Modern June Cleaver, has created a charming and versatile holiday skirt for you! Using vintage embellishment methods, you can create your own Christmas tree skirt (like Amanda) or wearable circle skirt (like me). I know you’ll love learning about these felt applique techniques!

Amanda made her Christmas tree skirt using the free Charm Circle Skirt and a vintage-inspired color palette, with lots of gold fringe. We sewed my version as a wearable circle skirt (using the Stanwyck Skirt pattern) in traditional Christmas colors with a little extra pink.

We’ve included PDF files for both making your appliqués by hand, as well as SVG files for using a Cricut or Silhouette die-cutting machine.

Thank you so much to Amanda for working with us on this project. We all hope you love this guest artist design!
