Be My Valentine Garland




My "Be My Valentine Garland"

is a simple way to use a few of your

favorite Valentine fat quarters.

It is simple to make because

I have used my own version of

a raw edge applique technique.

Supplies Needed:




  • Scrap piece of freezer paper
  • 1/4 Yard of Pellon Interfacing. I used a thicker Interfacing.
  • 1/3 Yard of Moda Bella Solid Betty Brown SKU#9900-125
Cutting:

  • Cut (1) 5" X 5" square from the freezer paper
  • From each of the DARK fat quarters, cut (2) 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangles. You will need a total of (10) 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangles.
  • From each of the Light colored fat quarters, cut (1) 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangle. Choose one of your favorite light colored fat quarters, and cut an extra 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangle. You will need a TOTAL of (4) 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangles.
  • From the Pellon Interfacing, cut (4) 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangles.
  • From the Bella Solid Betty Brown, cut (4) 3" X Width Of Fabric (WOF) strips.

Construction:

Step 1: Make the heart template
  • Take 5" X 5" freezer paper square and fold it in half.
  • On the dull side of the freezer paper,draw half of a heart. Don't worry about making it too perfect!
  • Cut on the drawn line.
  • Open up your freezer paper heart.






Step 2:
  • Following the manufacturer's directions, adhere the Pellon Interfacing to the wrong side of a light colored 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangle.
  • Repeat for all (4) 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangles.




Step 3:
  • Place your freezer paper heart on top of the fabric side of the 5 1/2" X 18 1/2" rectangle.
  • Make sure that the dull side of the heart is facing up!
  • With a cool iron, iron the heart down in place.



Step 4:
  • Using a pencil or fabric marking pen, trace the heart onto the fabric.


Step 5:
  • Remove the heart.



Step 6:
  • With the dull side facing up, place the freezer paper heart next to the drawn heart.
  • Iron in place.
  • Remove heart.
  • Repeat until you have (10) hearts drawn.





Step 7:
  • Cut out each heart.




Step 8:
  • Fold the 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangle in half.
  • Press to create a crease.
  • Fold the rectangle in half again.
  • Press to create another crease. This will create a grid which will help you line up all of your hearts.
  • Open up the piece of fabric.







Step 9:
  • Place your heart on top of the 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangle.
  • Place the bottom tip of the heart 1 1/4" above the horizontal crease that you created.
  • Use the vertical crease to line up the top of your heart. I placed the "dip: in the top of the heart on the vertical crease.
  • Pin the heart in place. 






Step 10:
  • Using a 1/4" seam allowance, sew around the edge of the heart.
  • Tip: I increased the stitch length to 3.0. I also used my walking foot because of the thickness of the heart/Pellon Interfacing. Also S-L-O-W down when you are sewing the heart. It really does help to made the rounded corners of the heart!
  • Another option would be to use a blanket stitch.





Step 11:
  • With Right Sides Together (RST), fold 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangle in half.
  • Give it a quick press with the iron to reset your crease.
  • Using a 1/4" seam allowance, sew along the left and right side of the rectangle.
  • Leave the top open.




Step 12:
  • Clip the bottom corners.



Step 13:
  • Turn the rectangle inside out.
  • Push out the corners using a chopstick or an unsharpened pencil.
  • Press the rectangle.


Step 14:

  • Repeat steps 8-13 for each 7 1/2" X 20 1/2" rectangle.
  • Make a total of (10) heart pendants.





Step 15:
  • With RST, sew (2) Bella Solid Betty Brown 3" X WOF strips together.
  • Press the seams open.
  • Repeat for the other (2) Bella Solid Betty Brown 3" X WOF strips.



Step 16:
  • With RST, sew the (2) Bella Solid Betty Brown strips together to create one long strip.
  • Press the seams open.
Step 17:
  • Fold the top half of the strips over (about 1/2") toward the middle of the strip.
  • Press down the entire length of the strip.
  • Fold the bottom of the strip over (about 1/2") toward the middle of the strip.
  • Press down the entire length of the strip.



Step 18:
  • Fold the strip in half again.
  • Press down the entire length of the strip.


Step 19:
  • Begin pinning down the Bella Solid Betty Brown strip.
  • Slide your heart pendant in between the fold of the Bella Solid Betty Brown strip.
  • Measure in about 30" from the start of your strip before you start to place your heart pendants. This will allow you to have plenty of room at the start & end of garland. This is helpful when you are trying to hang up your Be My Valentine Garland.
  • I left about 1/4" gap in between each heart pendant.




Step 20:
  • Stitch down the center of the Bella Sold Betty Brown fabric strip.


Your Be My Valentine Garland in now complete!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Your beautiful photographs really made this tutorial a fun one to read. They were very helpful, too.

    I already have a paper Valentine banner for my mantle, but the thought immediately popped into my head that a birthday banner with hearts would be so much fun. I always try to do a simple and homemade decoration on our mantle for each of my children's birthdays. This would be perfect, because it could stay folded neatly in a drawer and be pulled out to be reused several times a year.

    Love the idea! Thanks so much for sharing. Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  98. A fun and creative project! You gave excellent detailed information as to how to make a perfect banner. I am going to add the letters to spell "VALENTINE" using brown floss, with one less flag, and maybe "pink" the edges of the hearts. Thansk for joining the blog tour!

    ReplyDelete
