How to Make a Fabric Garter
- 1). Cut a strip of fabric 2 1/2 inches wide and 30 inches long.
- 2). Lay the fabric right side up on a table with a long edge closest to you. Fold the strip in half by bringing the bottom edge up to the top edge.
- 3). Sew the long edges of the strip together by stitching a straight seam 1/2 inch from the edge. Turn the resulting fabric tube right side out.
- 4). Cut a 16-inch piece of 1/2-inch elastic and use a large safety pin to thread it through the tube. Push the fabric to the middle of the elastic.
- 5). Overlap the ends of the elastic 1/2 inch to form a ring. Be sure the elastic is not twisted. Sew the ends of the elastic together where they overlap.
- 6). Distribute the fabric evenly around the ring, making sure it is not twisted.
- 7). Tuck in 1/2 inch on each end of the fabric tube around the elastic. Hand-sew the folded ends of the tube together.
