Step 3: Add white sashing to all sides of both trees. Center a 7/8” strip to one long side of tree. Sew to attach. Press fabric towards white sashing. Repeat on other long side.

Step 4: Add white sashing to bottom of tree. Center 7/8” x 4” sash on bottom and sew on. Press toward white sashing. Repeat so you have two sashed trees.

Trim excess white fabric at top so that there is 1/2”

beyond the top point of tree.

Trim excess white fabric at base of tree so that it is one

straight line across.
