Large Tree - Step 3 (Optional)

If you are adding stars to your cushion, print a selection of stars from the PDF template provided above, and cut them out.

 

Draw around the stars on the paper side of the Heat ‘N’ Seal and iron onto the wrong side of the contrast fabric according to the instructions on the pack.

 

Cut out the fabric stars and arrange them on one side of the tree. Remove the paper backing and iron into place.

 

Allow the fabric to cool before sewing.

Large Tree - Step 4
Using a Zigzag or blanket stitch, sew around the edges of the stars to attach them to the main fabric.

Large Tree - Step 5
Place the template pieces right sides together, pin and sew around the edge of the tree using a 1cm seam allowance.

Large Tree - Step 6

Make sure to leave a 10cm gap along the bottom of the tree for stuffing.

 

Turn the tree to the right side ensuring all the points are fully pushed out, and press.

 

Stuff with Toy Filling, making sure to get into all the points of the tree.

Large Tree - Step 7
Press the bottom edges of the seam inwards and sew together neatly. (Ladder stitch is a great way to join these types of seams invisibly).

Small Tree - Step 1

For the small tree, cut two copies of the small tree template from your fabric.

 

With right sides together, sew around the edge of the tree using a 1cm seam allowance, making sure to leave a 10cm gap along the bottom for stuffing.

 

Turn the tree out to the right side and stuff with toy filling.

Small Tree - Step 2
Press the bottom edges of the seam inwards and sew together neatly.
