Making banners is one of my favorites!! They are super easy and add the cutest touch to a room!! This one above is in my daughters room. :) Here is a simple tutorial~
Supplies~
measuring tape
triangle pattern (in my
flickr)
pinking shears or pinking rotary cutter
6 X 10 inch fabric pieces
pins
double wide bias tape
thread
pin pattern to fabric piece
cut around pattern
isn't this simple!! :)
repeat till you have all your triangles cut
measure where you would like to have your banner hung...
then cut your bias tape a several inches longer. then you have a little room to work with.
arrange your triangles
pin your triangles in between the bias tape. i give about a fingertips space between the triangles.
zig zag stitch on top of the bias tape.
i use a large zig zag.
now it is ready to be hung!
hope you have fun!! now i'm ready to make another one!! :)
I love it

Kerri, I just found your blog after ordering some fabric from you too. Does your zig-zag ever pucker, I cannot figure out why mine does not lay as nice as yours? Any tips?
