Christmas sewing

I started quilting my Christmas tree skirt today. Tomorrow is crazy busy but I might be able to work on it some more. I also hand-prewashed the fabric for the binding. Easier than dealing with all the fray damage from washing it in the machine and I can see how much it bleeds too.

Other current projects include a spectacularly ugly set of jammies for my 2 yo and 4 pairs of boxer briefs for my boys. Pics later; I keep saying that, I know. It is a rib knit with deep orange, lime, and slate blue diamond print. I matched it with orange sleeves on the jammies and variations of orange and slate blue for the undies.

I also need to make up winter hats for gifts for the rest of my nieces and nephews, and maybe a custom order, and a stocking for my younger son. For his 3rd Christmas.
