American Flag Banner


American Flag Banner


I wanted to share with you, a little flag banner I made.  I had an old red and white sweater vest that no longer fit, and an old denim skirt that use to fit the girls and decided to make a little banner for our porch.

I cut this old sweater up into 5" x 4" 's


All you need to do is cut a small square out of the jeans, and then sew it to the corner of your fabric flag.  I then hand stitched a small star in the center of each flag.  I used bias trim to sew my finished flag too.  Make sure you leave enough room on the ends to tie your banner up.  Hope you all have a great 4th of July! I am taking the weekend off, to stock my etsy store and finish up some new projects I have been working on.. Be back on Monday!
