Time:0h02
Nice & Simple
Description 

:) It may look long but i'm just being thorough :)


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    You will need...
    Thread
    1 Needle
    Some material
    A smile on your face :)
    (this coulld probably be done without the smile, but lets be optimistic)


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Cut yourself some thread, thread your needle and tie a little knot at one end of the thread


  3. 3
    Step 3

    sew through one side of the fabric..

    <-- like that


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Do that again


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Now, before you pull tight, pull the needle through the loop.
    you might want to look at the picture cos this is quite hard to explain


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Pull tight. The first one always looks a bit odd, but the rest will be ok i promise


  7. 7
    Step 7

    Sew through the fabric again


  8. 8
    Step 8

    now pull the needle through the loop again


  9. 9
    Step 9

    Pull tight


  10. 10
    Step 10

    Voila! now the trick to even stitching is to make sure you have even depth and width between your stitches...

    I hope this helps anyone looking at how to blanket stitch!! xx

I'd just like to add, blanket stitch uses up more thread then normal, you can use a longer length but it may become tangled. just something to bear in mind if you are keen on presentation
