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.

Tatting 111 Suncatcher by Murphy's Designs

I made this fun spinner card with the "plain" Suncatcher.  It might be a little hard for you to see the angles of the card.  I will wind up the invisible string that I attached to the end picot and the edge of the card.  When the card is opened, the Suncatcher will spin around.  These designs can be used many different ways.  You can even use them as a doily.
