Here is our third video with kin community. The classic flag banner was one of the first products we made way back in 2002. It has remained a favorite among our clients -it's so versatile!
Hope you like this one.
As with the other video's, it's best if you watch it on YouTube.
CLASSIC FLAG BANNER (9ft long):
Materials:
Extra Wide, Double Fold Bias Tape (1 pack = 9 ft)
Fabric (lots of colors and patterns)
Flag pattern (5" wide, 6 3/4" length) -we make the pattern from paper grocery bags
Ruler and rotary cutter (or scissors)
Sewing machine + thread
• choose fabric (you're going to want lots of different colors and patterns to choose from); flags are double-sided so consider that when making fabric choices.
• cut flags (20 are needed) using the flag pattern you've made.
• once the flags are cut out, arrange them in the order you like.
• stack the flags in preparation to sew; sew each flag together (all 20) in one continuous stitch.
• begin sewing the bias tape together from one end, mark 10" -this is where you will begin inserting the flags.
• place the flags (which are all connected to one another) in-between the folds of the bias tape and top stitch.
• continue stitch to the very end of the bias tape.
Don't you just love the classics? I do, I think these are wonderful. The classics remind me of the older times when everything was a bit better and that really makes me feel good. Amazing post. :)
