No pattern...just a round cut out with ruffles....
I used my method of making the circle here except I did not use paper, I just used the back of the fabric and chalk.
When I am done swirling, I will cut the opening in the middle and down the side and bind.
I had to make a trip to JoAnn's (yes....rough trip) today to get fabric for the ruffle.
Unfortunately, I did not get enough.
As I was contemplating my dilemma ......my oldest son walked in the room. Can you see the wheels turning in my head!
Poor guy!
It didn't hurt to ask because he went!!!!
and even gifted me some fabric!
This gal was swirling!!!! I will make a mental note...send oldest son to JoAnn's more often!

Looks like a fun project! I haven't done ruffles in ages!!! That blue snowflake fabric gives me ideas......
The tree topper turned so cute. How cute is that fabric with the gifts on it! I think that is fantastic that your son will go to Joann's for you and bring home extra fabric. He did good picking out the fabrics.
OK, that is one COOL son!! :)
Cute Christmas table topper.
Haha!! Sounds like a great day! Love your gifted fabrics -- your eldest son has great taste! :)

Thank you for the reminder! Time to get started on a tree skirt! Also, thank you for a lovely blog!
Awww, what a great kid you have!! Love the little tree skirt!
It sounds like you have trained that son well, Barb!!! That will make such a sweet tree skirt.
Beautiful!! teehee YAY for your son!!
Nice tree skirt and a wonderful son!
Love your swirling trees.
Beautiful! Oh, I would hate to have to cut that pretty snowflake in the center :) What a good son you have--mine when he was little in the stroller used to cry when I pushed him through those aisles of bolts tall above him--not sure he would volunteer now to go to a fabric store but he's 6'4" and much taller than those bolts now :)
Love the swirls!
Your swirling trees are so pretty and your son is wonderful !
I love your tree skirt.
What a sweet heart of a son! Give him a big hug for me.
Your newest table topper is beautiful.
