A title reads "Come sew a scrappy leaf garland with me in the Twig + Tale Treehouse".

It is hung around a sun-lit window with gray curtains.

The next one down, a blue chambray fabric, is finished with Hong Kong/Bound Seams using a small-scale white floral fabric. The next one down, the pink fabric again, is joined using French Seams. The bottom swatch, in yellow fabric, is finished with zigzag stitches.

The pocket features a large strawberry applique with a black "hole" in the center. The hood of the vest also has small purple antennae.
