Fabric Valentine garland

Another common, but always special, garland is a fabric heart garland. For mine, I created 3 different cardboard heart templates, traced them onto festive fabrics and cut them out. I placed each fabric heart on a piece of felt of the same size, sewed them together and pinked the edges. Lastly, I sewed the whole string (of 5 hearts) from top to bottom (or was it bottom to top?), leaving the thread long at the top for hanging. I put narrow strips of tissue paper in the gaps between the hearts when sewing to give the thread something to grab on to, then pulled out the paper when I finished.
Next up, a guest post at Blissful Kids and the final piece of our holiday garland sampler. 3 posts in one day! Does that help make up for going MIA during the months of December and January?
