You may have noticed that I like banners, buntings, garlands…whatever you call them, I like them.
I cut a pattern from a piece of paper and played with it until it was the size that I wanted.
I sewed around the two long sides and then turned them right side out.
I press up the side seams as far as I can reach with the iron and then flatten the triangles out.
Then I arrange them flat on the ironing board and arrange the pieces as I want them.
I pin the pieces together just as I want to sew them.
I bind them together with a piece of extra wide double fold bias tape, leaving about 8 inches on either end for hanging or tying them up.
Then I hung it up and admired it!
Looks pretty hanging in the tree!
I made this one for my niece’s baby shower today…
Very cute! And it matches her nursery so she can hang it there!
I am linking to these great parties!
