Our block is having (had) their annual block party and I volunteered to make a banner to hang above the street. At first, the idea started out as an old bed sheet and acrylic paint. Then, I was curious to see if I could sew it. We can use it over and over again each year.
I embellished it with a butterfly and flower.
The letters "E" and anything with a center like "R" or "A" were the more difficult letters to sew because I had to stop at every single corner which got annoying after a while.
The leaf and bird is my favorite part of this.
Once it was up above the street, it seemed so short, but it was actually quite long. Next year, I will have to sew a back to it, so you can see it from both sides.
