About this event

Get into the holiday spirit with a fun and creative Christmas table decoration project! In this workshop, you’ll craft a stunning optical illusion Christmas Tree table runner, with the option to make matching placemats for a coordinated festive look.

Each patchwork tree can be customized with your own choice of colours, making every piece truly unique. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced patchworker, this is the perfect project to explore your creativity.

You’ll also learn the all-in-one backing and binding technique, making your creation beautifully finished and ready to display in time for Christmas.

Measuring approximately 40” x 12” (100cm x 30cm), this runner is perfect for the festive season — but can easily be adapted for any time of year.

Skill level : Basic sewing machine skills required.

You will need:

  • Patchwork cotton: 10 cm per tree (6 trees total — use one colour or mix up to 6 different colours for variety) → 60 cm total
  • Border: 25 cm plain cotton
  • Backing: ½ metre plain or patterned cotton
  • Batting: 50 cm
  • Thread: Matching colour to complement your fabrics
