Do you have a special predilection (gardening, cows, cats) that you want to announce to the world? Say it in banners! These colorful flags have been cropping up everywhere--on the outside of homes and shops, adorning interior windows and walls. Now you can make banners and flags yourself, with little more than a sewing machine and some spare time. Learn all the reversible applique techniques and design principles needed to show your colors! The easy-to-follow directions include: --patterns and step-by-step instructions for 6 banner projects; --ideas and inspiration for crating custom banners; --and detailed methods for working with nylon, trigger cloth, felt, or woven fabrics, including no-sew techniques.Banners add a splash of color to brighten the front of your home or business.
