{ Here my final Garter! I know - Estoy como loca por el Morado! :P}
Basically I used one piece of two meter long fabric, I sew a "sandwich" ribbon to it on the center, after that I run elastic trough the center, pull and I got my garter!!, I added little clay flowers and leaf with different green small pieces of ribbon.
I always understand better when I see pictures, but this time (because it was my very first project) I forgot to take pictures - so I draw my process to show you all ;)
In order to keep the layers on place, secure them with clothespins. Then proceed to sew the edges like shown on the upper drawing.
After your done with sewing the edges, run the elastic like on the drawing, pull and tie both ends. Remember to measure so it doesn't get too tight or too lose on your leg.
After that you need to sew the front faces together and your done!! Sew or glue embellishments as desire ;) - what I did was attach the flowers with different green ribbon :)
Are you DIY your garter? what to share your inspiration?
Girl, your stuff is amazing! I absolutely LOVE everything you have shown! I wish you were my close amiga :)
