Happy Monday y'all! I hope that everybody had a blessed Easter weekend with friends and family. The Hubster was at home ALL weekend which was fabulous! He has been working turnaround since January which involved him working 14 day stretches. We were glad to have him at home with us. Our Easter was quiet and nice.
After Jenn showed me the stitch the boys and I headed to HobLob in hopes of finding a curved needle. Thankfully they had some. It was in a pack called repair needles. |
First pin your closure shut. This helps greatly but you will find as you go along you can take them out. |
Next make your first stitch at one of the ends of the closure. |
Here is what that looks like. You are stitching the inside of the fabric on each side. |
Now you just alternate from side to side with your stitching. Do not make your stitches to far apart or you will leave gaps in between. |
Just keep alternating the side you are stitching on till you get the end of the closure. |
Tug a little and tie it off with a knot. This was still loose looking since I stitched a bit further down in to the closure. Easy fix! |
I just went back and completed all the steps over again. Doing so just makes your stitch least likely to pop back open or pull. |
Linking up to the following linky parties:
