The school Library where I work is celebrating it's patron next week so many decorations are being made in her honor.
The Library was also weeding their collection and disposing of damaged books so I rescued Anne of Green Gables and make it into a bunting for the Library!
The thread that I used was Gutermann 100% Polyester CA 02776. Thicker than normal thread, normally used for top stitching. I've been using this thread for things like paper buntings and the simple Colouring in books that I made my daughter a while back.
Stitch length was the longest that the machine could do. In between each
paper bunting, I pulled the thread through the machine to maintain
tension and counted to "five" to get a gap. You could sew them closer if you wanted to.
Rather pleased with the outcome. I could imagine that you could photocopy random pages from the classics onto fabric and make a fabric one if you wanted to.
Tomorrow I am off to do a sewing workshop. I have been making bags for a while, but I want to hone my skills. It also gives me a chance to sew, which I desperately need at the moment for my mental health.
