'Love and Romance' Wedding Name Places

Project by Michelle Roberts AKA Creative Blonde

Fabric: Love & Romance

Materials to make one name place:

• 7” x 7” piece of sage green fabric from the collection

• 7” x 7” piece of hessian

• 7” x 10” piece of interfacing

• 2” x 1 “piece of brown cardstock for the label

• Fat eight of the ‘love and romance’ fabric on white

• Gutermann thread

Haberdashery items:

• Quilter’s ruler

• Rotary cutter/scissors

• Iron

• Cutting mat

• Basic sewing supplies

Lets get creative…

Take your piece of hessian, and create a triangular bunting flag.

Fuse the sage green fabric to the 7” piece of interfacing.

Use the cut hessian piece as a template for the fabric, once cut out, trim ½” from each edge.

Stitch in place, sew around twice using a white thread.

Roughly cut around the ‘love’ wording, and fuse to interfacing. Carefully cut out.

With feed dogs dropped on your sewing machine and darning foot attached, free motion quilt around edge of applique, to secure in the centre of name place flag.

Sew label in place in top left hand corner.

If you prefer to print the names, do this on the cardstock before cutting out the labels.

If you have a Die cutting machine, you could cut out a gorgeous flower shape, see my other tutorial for how to make these lovely wedding invitations.
