I found this cute Valentine gift bag, and knew immediately what I would use it for.
I cut it to pieces using my trusty paper cutter.
I used one of the letters and a bowl to make a pattern.
I always have extra fabric on hand, and knew this red/white gingham would work perfectly. I traced and cut out 8 gingham pennants, and 4 white pennants.
I used one pennant on the bottom, one on the top, and sandwiched my white one in between. Pinned them together, and sewed all the way around the outside~ about 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Then I cut little slits all the way around each pennant. I wanted them to look a little raggedy, so I spritzed them with water and tossed them in the dryer.
Next I sewed each letter to a "pennant sandwich" with a zig-zag stitch.
I finished it off by sewing all the letters to a classic white bias tape.
I just LOVE how it turned out!
