Here’s a quick tip:
If you want to make a few of these gorgeous little ornaments, you might find it useful to purchase or borrow a fabric cutting machine.
These machines can quickly cut out multiples of the same design, which means that you can get on with other things – such as sewing the tree pieces that are already cut.
You can find manual or electric fabric cutting machines. Here is a great guide to help you find the right fabric cutting machine for your needs and your budget.
