    Thanks, Lindsey! I’ve been waiting all week for it. I bought the fat eighth box from Honey Be Good just so I could make one like yours, I like it so much. Don’t have the checked background fab, but will find one that will work. Yay!ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      I hope you enjoy it, let me know if you have any trouble. I found the check fabric at Ikea!ReplyCancel

    Sweetness!ReplyCancel

  • Lizzie

    Adorable and fresh! Thanks for the pattern!ReplyCancel

Have you seen this stuff? I got a sample from Pellon a few months back and had a chance to use it this morning. It’s really quite handy! I pieced together some batting scraps to sandwich a mini quilt and took some pics to share with you. All you need is the tape, scissors, batting […]

    Is it safe to use on all batting types? Poly or 80/20? Looks quite a bit faster than sewing the batting together!ReplyCancel

    • LindseyR

      It’s 100% polyester, so I’d assume it’s safe for poly battings too. It doesn’t list restrictions. It was definitely speedy!ReplyCancel

      • Mary

        With poly batting you have to be careful not to melt the batting with your iron – use a lower setting. MaryReplyCancel

  • Cristin

    I didn’t know such a product existed! To piece smaller chunks of batting I just trim so each side is super straight then zig-zag stitch together. I may have to give this a try though! Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

  • Flying Blind

    Ooh that would make my Frankenstein-wadding way neater!ReplyCancel

  • Charity Reesor

    Cool!!!

    Sent from my iPhoneReplyCancel

  • Nicola

    I use a similar product – it’s brilliant!! Quilts and washes well – I will never ever join wadding together with zig-zag stitches now – this is so much quicker, neater and flatter!!ReplyCancel

  • Richard Michell

    We a manufacturer of fusible tape to join batting. Our tape has been selected by Marti Michell and it is the only fusible we have seen marketed to quilters that in not made with a knit fabric. Ours is non-woven. Why do we think our tape is better for quilters:
    A) A stiff, non-flexible joint between the batts is what is needed. Knits are the most stretchable fabric while non-woven is the most stable fabric construction.
    B) Non-wovens are thinner and more difficult to detect in the quilt.
    C) The other tapes for quilters are almost all either .75″ or 1.5″ wide. Our tapes are either 1″ or 2″ wide. Our book, “Machine Quilting In Sections” shows overlapping two batts and cutting through both batts with a gentle curve and then joining them. 1.5″ wide tape is not wide enough to do this. .75″wide tape is narrow and skimpy.
    D) Non-woven fabrics are the least expensive fabrics to make making non-woven tapes vastly less expensive than knit tapes.

    Yes, this is a plug for our group of products, but hopefully this plug can be forgiven because of the educational content. If this plug offends you, I am sorry.

    What a clever idea! I remember making paper chains in school – always made one for counting down the days to Christmas! Thanks for the great giveaway!ReplyCancel

  • The Patchsmith

    Love this. It is simple and effective. I am thinking red, white and navy for summer and pretty pastels for Easter. Nicely done Lindsey.ReplyCancel

  • Dana

    As a child I used to make it with paper, never thought making it from fabric, now I know what to do with the leftovers πŸ™‚ Thanks for the great giveaway!ReplyCancel

  • laura

    I remember making paper chains as a kid. I also liked stringing popcorn and cranberries at Christmas. Thanks for the chance!ReplyCancel

  • Shelley

    We did make paper chains in school for Christmas. I loved making paper snowflakes though.ReplyCancel

  • Beth T.

    This is a great idea, and it’s never too early to start crafting for Christmas. The craft I remember most fondly from childhood was making May Baskets with my mother. We lived in California, but she was from Iowa and I think it was a bigger tradition there. I remember making them for two elderly ladies in our neighborhood who were quite touched by it.

    My mom lost two newborn children before I was born, so I can only imagine the delight she must have taken in finally carrying on a tradition with her little daughter: me.ReplyCancel

  • gina f.

    yes!! I did a kindergarten flashback where i can remember making paper chains. My mom still has it and brings it out at Christmas. Your post made me think of all kinds of school crafts: drawing a face then running a line of glue to lay yarn for the hair; ironing crayon shavings and leaves between wax paper; doing profile silhouettes; and paper mache to name a few. Thanks for a fun stroll down memory lane. Your fabric chain is beautiful!!ReplyCancel

    Well, I was a bit of a tomboy, so my favorite craft as a kid was making matchbox cars out of crayons with my Master Caster toy!

    Making paper chains was a necessity (ha!) when I grew up. Decorating for holidays other than Christmas was unusual but we certainly made many chains as garland for the Christmas tree. We had a Christmas tree in our classrooms until high school!! (BUT…I’m not saying how old I am!!!!)ReplyCancel

    Did you ever make your own special envelopes as a kid? First you take an envelope apart and use it as a pattern; find a really interesting magazine or catalog page, and cut it in the envelope shape, glue it the same way the original envelope was glued, and add a white label for the address.ReplyCancel

    My sister and I made yards and yards of corked, knitted tubes (we called it corking, I’m not sure what else it might be called) that we rolled into doll rugs and hot pads. Every Christmas for the first 12 years of my kids’ lives we made paper chains to drape across our living room windows. I always had an endless supply of construction paper for this, but in the last few years we’ve fallen off the bandwagon. Now I do have an endless supply of fabric, and I love your design with the ‘store flat’ option and re-usable fabric! Thanks for the tute!ReplyCancel

    As a child I was the queen of the pot holder. They sold these kits with stretchy fabric loops and a plastic loom. I think I made every female member in my family a dozen pot holders each, my mom had to keep buying more bags of loops for me.

    What a great tutorial, love all the photos! How neat that the rings can be undone, stored and reused, clever! My Mom taught and encouraged us to do different crafts, as we were not allowed to just sit in front of the tv, hehe. I tried lots of different things but I loved sewing and crocheting the best. I even still have a bedspread I made in 1976.

    Making paper chains out of fabric is such a great idea! Now I really want to make some for our Christmas tree!
    When I was a kid, my mom was super crafty, and we would do all kinds of things together! My favorite, though, was cross-stitching. (I also really liked those plastic beads that you would iron together into a shape. I don’t know what they were called, but they were so cool!)

    We made paper chains for our Christmas tree every year and saved them. We would add to it each year. Soon, it took over the whole tree. It took all four of us kids to wrestle the chain around and around the tree. It was the most exciting part of Christmas for us. We laid it out and it ran three times the length of the living room down the hall and back. Pretty darn long!ReplyCancel
