Tatting 57 - Bride's Garter and Bookmarks

Tatting Bride's Garter and Bookmarks by Murphy's Designs


A bride's garter done in machine embroidery tatting!  Plus I have 3 sizes of bookmarks done 2 ways.

For All Hoop Sizes

Completely free-standing tatting designs!  These designs are done so you can add a ribbon to make a bookmark.  Incredibly easy to do!  For the tatting, just stitch and rinse!  That is all there is to do it!
I did these in 3 sizes.  The small size fits a 4x4 inch (100x100 mm) hoop size.  All of them fit a 5x7 inch (130x180 mm hoop.

Tatting Bride's Garter and Bookmarks by Murphy's Designs A closer look at the tatting garter I made.  This is available for all hoop sizes.  I include instructions to help you stitch out a beautiful garter just like I did in this picture.

For this one, I used a 100 wt. (very fine) silk thread.  You can use regular weight (40 wt.) for this too.  I like how delicate it looks.  The satin-covered elastic is 1/2 inch wide.



You can add Mylar to these, which is really fun and easy to do. I added ribbons to a few of mine.
