Last summer my sister, Jen, was married to Ray.  As oldest sister I assumed the job of finding "something blue" for her wedding.  I made one of these pretty blue garters using left over Liberty of London Tana Lawn and elastic bobbin thread. I was surprised at how quickly and easily the whole thing came together. The garter proved so popular that family members and friends have started requesting them and Jen has since made one for the wedding of a family friend.

This is a truly simple project to make (it takes less than an hour) and a great use of the Tana Lawn, which is a singularly spectacular fabric. All of this make it such a special gift.  If you have a bride who could use "something blue" please visit the Something Blue: Jen's Wedding Garter Project Journal to make one of your own. --Joelle
