Sewteacher.com is a grassroots business created by and designed for working professionals, stay at home moms, amateur decorators, and anyone who is interested in creating original decorative and functional products for their home.
The Sewteacher philosophy is based on the idea that quality home decorative goods and professional sewing products aren't only for those who can afford to hire high-priced decorators and seamstresses. The DIY or do-it-yourself movement is growing as quality goods become more expensive to buy, and more consumers across the nation are seeking ways to make their own products in a more cost effective manner. The added benefit of the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes from designing and making your own home goods only adds to this growing phenomena. We here at Sewteacher firmly believe in the do-it-yourself attitude, and our goal is to help you design and produce your own home decorative products such as pillows, window treatments, bedding, using the same methods and tools the professionals use, at a fraction of the cost!
Sewteacher instructional videos feature our Creative Director, Beth Bates, a professional seamstress with many years experience making window treatments, bedding and pillows. Beth will walk you through the steps in a calm, relaxed manner, using easy to understand instructions and examples, all the while giving you special insider seamstress tips and suggestions. Beth will show you how the professionals do it, so you don't have to hire them to do it for you!

Beth Bates: Hi, I am Beth Bates from SewTeacher. I am showing you how to make a custom Christmas tree skirt. We are almost finished, the last thing we need to do is to sew up the opening that we use to pull the skirt inside out. Now for this, I am going to sew right on the lining. So my top thread is going to be white, in my bobbin, I am going to use green, which is the same color as my face fabric, that way the colors will be match appropriately.
Okay, I am taking my green, putting it in. Alright, I am aligning it up and this time I want to sew as close to the edge as possible, getting the white lining in the face fabric. So I am placing my fabric in, now because if you are like me and you have trim within the seam, this maybe kind of thick.
So, I am actually going to do the first couple stitches manually turning the wheel. At times that helps, going all the way up, you can go as close to the edge as you can, pulling the pins out as you go and once again back-tack and we are finished. The last and final step is to put it around your Christmas Tree. I hope you have enjoyed this video and I hope you found it informative. Happy holidays.

This is a very informative, very precise video for making a Christmas tree skirt. I was really impressed with the detail of the instructions, and it was very helpful to have the different steps broken up into separate videos. Thank you for the extra tips and terminology for some of the things you did! I will be making a tree skirt in the very near future... using THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL! :) God bless!
