Don't MIS It has turned 1!

Don't MIS It is 1 year old and it's time to celebrate! Thank you so much to all my readers for following me and sharing your wonderful comments.   


In honor of this occasion here is a great DIY that can be used for any celebration.  I am always on the lookout for festive party decorations and am rarely able to find any unique ones that stay within my budget.  So when I came across this tutorial on MADE I was thrilled! RUFFLED STREAMERS are the perfect way to jazz up any celebration.  Follow the tutorial at www.dana-made-it.com, and sew up a few.  They are whimsical because they add a layer of texture to the classic streamer and pack a colorful punch!  They are also versatile and can be used for all occasions and events.  Even if you don't have festivities in your future, make some Ruffled Streamers and send them to a friend on their birthday; they will make anyone's day!


Enjoy,

Set your machine to the longest stitch possible and strongest tension.

Do a quick forward then reverse stitch and sew down the middle.
(So that you sew both layers together)  
The streamers will magically ruffle up!

I lightly held my thread the entire time (to increase the tension)- was Perfect!
