How to Sew a String of Fabric
Pennant Flags...an easy sewing
craft project |
|
This awesome easy
sewing craft project can be made in colors to match your bed room and then
can be hung across your ceiling! Or show your patriotism and make it
in Red, White, and Blue. How about orange and black for Halloween?
Or your school colors!!! The ideas are endless!!! |

This quick and easy
project is a lot of fun to make. I made mine in purples and blues to
go into one of my sewing rooms which is decorated all in lilac.
First make yourself a pattern.
I just used a piece of computer paper and with a ruler made my self a flag
pennant pattern which is about 12 inches.
Once you have your pattern, pin and
cut out as many flags as you would like for your string of flags. I
used 10 so that it would go across my one wall. You will need to pin
and cut TWO of each print of fabric. |
|
 |
With each of your
flags pin them PRETTY SIDES together. You will want to pin the two
long sides leaving the top open for turning. If you look at the
photo, where the pins are is the top, I did not pin or sew
there. Using the pressure
foot as your guide straight stitch down to the bottom point of your
pennant, pivot, and stitch back up to the other side. Don't forget
to leave the top open. |
|
 |
Once all of your flags
are sewn, trim the seams, especially, the bottom point as shown in the
photo. Be careful not to cut into your stitching. |
|
 |
Turn each flag to
pretty side out. With a pencil or chopstick gently poke out the
point of each of your flags. |
|
 |
Once all the corners
are poked out and look nice and pointy and professional, press your flags
so they look nice and flat like as shown in the photo. |
|
 |
Using the pressure
foot as your guide stitch the top opening closed of each flag as shown in
the photo. |
|
 |
Cut off any excess
fabric from the top, so that the top of each of your flags are even.
(There might be some in the corners as shown in this photo, top left of
the flag.) |
|
 |
You will need wide
bias tape for this which can be found at any fabric store or places like
Wal-Mart in the fabric department.
Open the wide bias tape and pin
each top of the flag in it as shown in the photo. I put all of my
flags 3" apart as you can see in the photo.
Stitch across the length of the
bias tape making sure that you catch all of the flag. |

 |
Your awesome flag
pennant is done and you can hang it up!!! |
