These fun fabric pennant banners are showing up everywhere! They're easy to make from fabric scraps and remnants and you can make them any size. Add letters for holiday and special events, or use them plain to compliment your party decor. See the overview below or get the full deets here.
Place fabric wrong-sides together. Trace the flag onto your fabrics. The top edges will be hidden inside the bias tape, so it doesn't matter if you place the flag onto folded or raw edges.
Primary Supplies:
Fabric remnants - Two 5 by 8 pieces for each flag
Bias tape - 16 ft or desired length
Place fabric wrong-sides together. Trace the flag onto your fabrics. The top edges will be hidden inside the bias tape, so it doesn't matter if you place the flag onto folded or raw edges.
Cut out the flags. A rotary cutter and mat make this an easy job, but you can use scissors. To make a 12-foot banner, I used 25 two-sided flags spaced just over an inch apart in my banner, but you can make yours any length you like!
Sew each set of flags together with a 1/4 inch seam along the two long edges.
- Measure and mark the starting point for the placement of the flags. I like to leave at least 24 inches at each end for tying the banner to a post, etc. Sandwich the flags inside the bias tape. Pin in place. In the sample there's about an inch in between each flag, but you can leave more or less if you like.
Continue the edgestitch and sew the flags in place. Sew all the way to the end of the bias tape.
