Detailed instructions:
This workshop is very simple and you can easily complete the task. To create an elegant accessory, you need to follow a few simple steps. The very first thing you should start with is to determine the length of your future garter. Each of you will have your own individual parameters. Measure with tape the area of the leg where you will have the garter. Add another seven centimeters to the resulting number. Cut the lace and ribbon of the resulting length. The length of the elastic will be three centimeters less than the original length of the ribbon and lace (before adding 7 cm).
Next, what you need to do is to sew the tape to the surface of the lace. Keep the seams even..
When you make the first seam, your part will look like this:
For better fixation and reliability of the product, we lay the second seam. Look at the photo where the second seam should go.
Then you need to insert the rubber into the product. Here you will need a pin, which must be attached to the edge of the elastic and stretch along the entire length of the garter. Since the length of the gum is shorter, do not miss its second edge, it would be better if you fasten it with something for a while, for example, with a colored eye pin.
If you have fastened only one end of the gum with a pin, fasten the other in the same way.
After that, you can connect the edges of the product with a small overlap and sew them. Make a seam from the inside of the product. You can also sew the edges by connecting them evenly and stepping back a little space from the edge. Then trim the excess lace.
So the main work is done! Turn the product over and gently spread the folds.
The garter can be supplemented with some cute little things. For example, why not decorate your groom's initials with a garter? !
With this sewing technique, you can use a variety of types of lace and ribbons. The portal www.articlewedding.com decided to provide you with the second version of the garter, which is made in the style of shabby chic.
