Fourth of July Banner!


This Fourth of July we'll be celebrating Independence Day, as well as the women we depended on for many years - our moms. I'd hate for them to feel like we threw together a 4th of July picnic and called it their birthday too, so I wanted to make it extra special for them both. Luckily I have so much inspiration this time of year.

Fourth of July Banner:

I made this banner from some scrap fabric I had lying around - an old chambray crib sheet, some thrifted polka-dot fabric, and a few pieces of red and blue that I found in a clearance bin. The red, white & blue ribbon is from Sprawl-mart.


Simply make a template from an old cereal box and cut triangles of various sizes. Arrange, pin and sew the ribbon across the top. Easy-peasy and so festive.

LOVE this. I have a pennant banner hanging in my solarium. It's one of the very few things I have actually sewn. I like how you layered the different fabrics and prints. Super cute.
