i've been wanting to sew really badly.
so i whipped up this sweet little guy...
i have plenty to do around the house, but have really wanted a decoration to have up year round.this garland has been in my head for months. just never had the time to do it.
it took me less than 45 mins, so i know you can find the time.
i also used all scraps. so, if you are a semi-hoarder, like myself you'll have plenty to work from and not spend a penny! {yay!}
wanna make one? here's how...
gather your scraps and iron them flat.
i eyeballed my cut to a width and length i personally liked. i wanted them to be small and sorta whimsy.
but to be kind to the choleric personalities out there i measured for you, each scrap is approx 3"x2"
i also chose to sort them into a pattern. you can do whatever you want with that. pattern no pattern.
to sew them i set my machine to a strait stitch and did not change stitch length or width.
i again eyeballed the placement. i waited till the end of the last scrap was in the middle of the pressure foot before feeding the next scrap in allowing just a little bit of space in between.
then i giggled at it's cuteness and hung it up to enjoy!!
i hope you love yours as much as i love mine!!
