About this pattern

Create these darling tree decorations just in time for December.

Top sewing tip

When Christmas is over, use the templates to create colourful spring birds, cutting each piece in a different cotton print. You could even hang them from pastel-coloured ribbon and dot them about the house for a fresh home update!
