sew fun wednesdays...five (this is it the last class)

i am sad to say this was my last sewing class until next fall.

i had so much fun and i feel like i accomplished a lot

this semester, so i am pleased. but, i will miss my three hours

of free time sewing, laughing, and hanging out with friends.

for my last project i decided to make a banner for the little misses

preschool teacher. i gave it to her as an end of the year gift.

i got the idea off of here from this blog. i have made buntings/banners

before, but i really like how she personalized hers with the teachers name.

i also like these for holidays, birthdays and even to decorate in

the kiddo's bedrooms. here's how i did it...

What you need:

scissors and pinking shears, heat-n-bond, felt,

bias tape or rick rack, scraps of fabric for the flags (9-12 inches in length),

sewing machine, thread and an iron.

first:

cut out flags (mine are double-sided) with pinking shears

and sew front to back, wrong sides together.

then follow these steps...

one: iron heat-n-bond onto felt.

two: print out letters on computer (unless you are good at free-hand....i am not)

three: pin to felt

four: cut out letters

five: iron on to flags

six: pin and sew rick-rack or bias tape to top of flags,

slightly overlapping the corners of the flags to make banner

viola, you have your banner for your special someone or special occasion
