A guide to making up Snippet Strips or Rolls. This is the way I have found to
be my best option. I hand stitch all my strips (not Glue ).
The featured Strip is 7 cm x 30 cm.
Starting with a strip of Poplin or soft cotton torn to size. then I add a layer
of fabric. In this case it is just a Cream Base, position the images to a place I am
happy with. Find a selection of Laces and Trims etc. and have a play with the
Colours, Positions and Design.
Next step is to hand tack down the Backing, Images and Laces. I find at times
the sewing machine is suitable but no gathering or tightness this way. Also
a slight movement of the piece because of the small scale, can be an added
bonus. If you are concerned about fraying, I use the pinking shears to trim of the
sides. Also if you are not happy with this look a narrow lace trim edge can be used.
I have completed this into a Journaling Inspiration Pack and will be adding
this to my Etsy Store. Images are from my Lavender Group printed onto
Cotton available in Store. There will a new range of minis coming soon.
