My nephew turned 1-year-old earlier this month!  My sister had come across pics of some fabric bunting (or banners) that she liked and asked it I would make something similar for the party.  My mom taught me a new technique for making each fabric flag with only one seam up the back.  I made a sample to give it a try and it looked great so I used it for this tutorial.

 

We picked out a lot of fun, bright boy prints for the fabrics, but any kind of fabric and print would work.  I’ve already heard from several people who want to make one for their little girl or for a craft space.

 

Another fun idea is to applique letters on each flag to spell out a name or word.  You can use the center fold as a guideline to place the letters before the flag has been sewn together.  Check out my applique tutorial if you want step-by-step instructions.

 

So here is the video tutorial – the pattern is located in the free patterns tab on whitneysews.com
