Spring Fabric Banner Tutorial
Tools:
- Pinking Shears
- straight pins
- pen
- sewing machine
- safety pin
- iron (my favorite)
- Scissors
Supplies:
- 5 – 1/4 yd of fabric – in different pastel colors
Riley Blake Dots Small Hot Pink Fabric - 1 yd or so of Satin Ribbon, 1/8-Inch
- Freezer Paper
or pattern paper
- thread
Step 1.
Print the pattern out. Trace the pattern onto to freezer paper(I used the backing of a shipping label). Cut the pattern out. Use the fabric as it is folded over. Use straight pins to pin the pattern to your fabric.
Step 2.
Cut the pattern out using the pinking shears. Repeat until all of your pieces are cut out.
Step 3.
Fold over fabric about 3/4 of in so it matches up on the side. Next iron flat on high heat.
Step 4.
Sew 1/8 in from the bottom edge. Back stitch at the beginning and end. Repeat with each pennant. Tip to save time, just add a new pennant without cutting the thread.
Step 5.
Cut the length of ribbon wanted. I used about 6 feet. Pin a safety pin to one end. Then push the pin through the opening in you first flag. Repeat until you have added all of the flags. Finally space the flags out and knot the ends of the ribbon.
