Hi Friends!
Here's a simple idea.
We can use old book pages or junk mail to make a garland
for Valentine's Day.
Lets cut out some hearts.
If you have a heart shaped punch this will be even easier!
I cut out quit a few-
I made stacks of 3, to get an idea of how many hearts
would make the length I wanted.
I went to my sewing machine
and threaded the machine with black thread.
Starting with a long leader of threat, sew through
the center of 3 stacked hearts.
Leave space and continue to another stack.
I kept going until I had a 20'' length.
Leave a long tail of thread.
Fold open the heart at the center stitch line.
Easy to hang with the thread ends.
If you like it longer, just keep adding on!
Thank you for visiting today.
I hope you have a wonderful week.

Very pretty! I have a large punch like that and will have to see if my granddaughter would like to help me make one
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
DeleteThe heart punch is the trick. Not only is it a time saver but all the hearts look nice and tidy. I hope you can make one with your granddaughter.

This Valentine's Day book banner is so gorgeous! Love how full the hearts look with your unique sewing technique! You nearly have me enticed to dust my own sewing machine off... haha
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
DeleteThank you so much! I think I sew more paper than fabric. It's so fun....and it makes a great crunching sound. You are such a wonderful friend!
