Reverse Applique Tree Skirt

Trimming a Christmas tree is one of our favorite ways to kick off the holiday season. Whether you starting hanging ornaments right after Thanksgiving or well into December, we have some inspiration for something beneath the tree, and you just might learn a new technique in the process.

Reverse applique involves layering fabrics and cutting away the top layer to reveal what’s underneath. The stars in this Yule Tide Tree Skirt take on a new dimension with the reverse applique technique.

Applique is a great method for adding details to tees, quilts, and home decor while using up pretty scraps. The combination of traditional applique and reverse applique adds texture and variety to any projects.
