Got it done by the July 4th. It's a miracle.

In our sewing group, a few ladies got together and decided we should make thees bandana flag wallhanging/table topper. They pooled their fabric and I did all the cutting for five of them. It went together very quickly but the cutting took a while. I'm so glad they thought of making them.

I've washed and dried it twice after nipping it. I really like the way it turned out, and more important, we got them done by the 4th of July.

That is such a great idea. I know that I will plan on making some for next year. We have a family gathering over the 4th, and what appropiate gifts to give to family that come. Thanks for posting.

Mariposa 06-30-2013 05:57 AM

Nicely done! Neat idea too!

kathdavis 06-30-2013 06:23 AM

Thanks all. The dimensions are 29 1/2" x 42 1/2". It was bigger but we had to trim it down because when sewing strips they are just never even. We were lucky because our red bandana and white stripe fabric was 60".

Actually, we had no pattern. One of the ladies saw a picture of this rag flag thrown over a chair on pinterest, so one of the ladies just looked at that picture and came up with our pattern. I know it isn't to scale but it is within reason. Stripes are all 3 1/2" wide. Seams are all 3/4". We used flannel as our batting, so after I washed and dried it twice, it is very soft. My daughter asked me why I didn't make it bigger because it was so cozy that it would be a great blanket. I just tossed it on my formal dining room table where I think it will stay a while since I will be hosting the 4th of July.

What a cool idea, love it!! I am a patriotic fanatic, have made 5 patriotic quilts, patriotic vest, placemats, a yo-yo flag table topper, table runner, small rag flags and have various other collectibles. Thanks for sharing.

MothrNatr 06-30-2013 04:27 PM

That is really cute! Now I have to go look for the flag wall hanging I made after September 11th and put it out!

javin22 06-30-2013 05:56 PM

That looks great! I know how long it can take to clip. I did a king size one. Never again.

Becky Crafts 06-30-2013 06:10 PM

Grandma Peg 06-30-2013 06:12 PM
