A Banner Day

Happy Friday!

I've been wanting to try making a bunting and finally gave it a whirl.  There are a lot of ideas here on Pinterest.

Here is mine made with a Kaffe fabric.


I made a paper patterns until I found the size I liked.   I made a cardboard template to mark the pre-fused fabric.


I fused a solid on the back and left the edges unfinished.   It would be really fun to make it two sided and hang it in a archway.


I used dritz single fold bias tape.   I pressed it in half to make a channel for the pennants.


I arranged them and held them in place with binder clips.


I stitched them in the channel close to the edge.


Waa-La (as Norma and I like to say :)


Aaahhhh.....spent a day at the beach last weekend with a great book on my ipod, an iced tea and applique'.


You just can't beat the view.


Happy Friday!  Grab a little summer before its gone!
