Garland is the "new banner" this CHA season. I saw quite a few lines with garland and I LOVE it! I created my own garland for two of my layouts this month.
I created a little tutorial on creating your own garland. Please ignore the fabric dust on my sewing machine...I need to clean it :)
Step 1: Fussy cut out hearts and punch out desired shapes
Step 2: Increase the stitch length on your sewing machine. Length 3mm works great for my machine.
Step 3: Insert first heart under foot, in front of needle. The press needle down.
Step 4: Chain stitch hearts and punched circles. Do not stop stitching between pieces.
Step 5: Garland is done. Enjoy!
Be sure to post your garland projects in the gallery!

Yummy, Melanie! I'm so going to try this! LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI made a similar garland for Valentine's day last year (or the year before?) I love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's super cool, now if only I can get a tutorial I can follow that helps me thread my machine (seriously)LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat garland tutorial Melanie! Definitely going to give this a try. :-)
