    I saw Cuddles on another thread was looking for a tree pattern. I know these aren't the one she wanted but thought might be of interest to her so I bumped it :)

    Thank you so much sethsgran. Some great ideas on this thread.

    Hoping to make some soon, so I'll be sure to come back and post a pic if you're interested.

    BTW, does anyone have the first tree on this thread saved?
    This one?

    Check out these gorgeous trees for christmas ...

    cuddles - I printed it out and put it my 'christmas folder'. I can post it to you if you want -its not on my computer anymore and I remember how to do it anyway. PM me your address if you want it.:)

    cuddles -you made that quick:T
    Posted off soft tree instructions today but couldn't find the template.........if I find it lurking about I'll send it on.
    I used some cone shaped candles as a size model and wrapped the fabric round, pinned it, removed candle and stitched it from there, then stuffed it and put the bottom on

    or you could draw round a plate then cut it in half...........just thought of that
