DIY.. Sew A Fabric Flag Banner Part 2

in Fat Quarter Projects on 30/05/13

I hope you are having a great week. To follow up with my post from Tuesday, here is part 2 of Sewing A Fabric Flag Banner.  If you are just tuning in now, click here for part 1.

By now you should have:

  1. Developed and cut your triangle pieces
  2. Prepped and cut your letters
  3. Ironed the letters down to each flag piece

If not.. Well, you have all the time in this DIY/ Internet world.  Here are the final steps to sewing the bunting:

Applique around the edges of each word.  Remember to applique each side BEFORE you sew the triangles together.

Place right sides together and pin. Position into your sewing machine and sew with a 1/4″ seam allowance for each side [not the top edge].  Stop 3/4″ from the top edge and backstitch. Trim the bottom corner. It is important to do this step. When you turn the flag right side out you need the fabric to fit into this small area.

Turn right side out and wiggle the corner/point into place. If you are SUPER careful, use a pin and pull the point out.. but be careful not pull too much out.  Press the seams.

When pressing the seams, press all the way to the top. This will press a 1/4″ seam allowance that creates a casing for the string. Using a disappearing fabric pen, mark a “dashed” line 3/4″ down from the top edge.

With the flag turned right side out, sew along the dashed line.  Backstitch at each end. This creates the bottom of the casing.  Mark another dashed line 1/4″ down from the top edge. This closes the casing and gives about a 1/2″ area for the string to fit through. Sew along the second line. Backstitch at each end again.  CAREFULLY trim down the top edge.

Use a small amount of  fray check along the raw edges.  This will help stop the top edges from too much fraying. Insert the string through the casing..

Well, that’s it. Happy sewing.

    […] I thought I was finished talking about the fabric flag garland that I made last week.. While I was packing it up to send to my friend, I realized how ugly the ends of the rope were.. They were covered in duck tape to hold the string from fraying. There was no way I would send it looking like that.  So, I decided to create one more post and then I would officially put this one to bed! You can check out the garland tutorials  – Part 1 and Part 2 […]

What do you do for self care and wellness? Do you put times into your calendar or just wing it each day? I am practicing adding time each day for a walk (or even two) and some form of relaxation.
