Beginning Crafting/Sewing - Bunting Banner

Make a festive, personalized banner to celebrated those special occasions! This fun & easy project makes those celebrations that much more special! We make the banner by sewing individual “flags” hung together on a strip of fabric. You chose your journey by using cut-out letter templates applied to each flag. We recommend using a 10” layer cake to create a colorful display so our kit includes your choice of ours in the shop, pattern/template, 2 yards DecorBond interfacing, 3 yards of Quilters Bias tape, and enough Steam-A-Seam to make your letter applique.
In addition to making the bunting you will learn/perfect your applique skills including fussy cutting, using fusible adhesives and applique stitching with your machine. This is a two session class with the first class focusing on Layer Cake selection, applique letter cutting & application and the second class focusing on applique stitching and banner construction. Celebrate birthdays, baby showers and holidays in style!
The bunting looks amazing when completed and once you learn how to make, you will want to do them every occasion. This is a confident beginner project and students can expect to finish the project in class by the 2nd session (with completed homework between sessions).
