Tree Skirt Disaster II

I know you have been eagerly awaiting Part II of the Christmas tree skirt disaster, so here it is friends!

Trim gets sewed on to back of skirt, then flipped over:


Fancy edge-stitching to make it look realll nice:


So nice, it required two shots:


After reading and re-reading the same step over and over about 10 times, the button loops get made:


Then attached (attempt one: button loops attached to wrong wrong side of skirt):


Attempt 2 (1 hour and many curse words later): button loops attached right side of skirt:


Trim goes on (this is round 1 of trim attachment. rounds 2 & 3 were not documented due to repeated failure followed by utter frustration):


Fancy edging stitching again:


Lessons learned:

Do not use Amy Butler's tree skirt pattern unless you are very patient. Or are good at sewing. Or want to contact me for some crucial tips.
