There is something lovely about getting a head start on Christmas while the sun is still out, and this fabric loop garland from Sew the Distance is exactly that kind of project. It is part of her Christmas quilting in July series, and it turns simple loops of fabric into a garland you can drape along a mantelpiece, a shelf, or a tree.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It is a happy home for your smallest treasures. Loops need very little fabric each, so those pretty little pieces you have been saving from your stash finally get to be seen.
- It is a gentle, no pressure make. No points to match and no seams to nest, which makes it a lovely palate cleanser between bigger quilts.
- July is the kindest time to do it. Making your decorations now means December arrives with the festive sewing already done, and you get to just enjoy it.
