Hope everyone is well today and you all had a great weekend. I am continuing on my journey to finish my daughter’s Blue room. We are in the final stretch now. Adding the details and getting rid of all the nasty pink. I had one wall that was looking kind of empty and I also had these beautiful swatches of fabric …well actually the dark blue was a linen skirt, but no one ever wore it. And I thought I’d make a banner for the blue wall.
Ελπίζω όλοι να είστε καλά σήμερα και να είχατε ένα καλό Σαββατοκύριακο. Εγώ συνεχίζω το ταξίδι μου να τελειώσω το μπλε δωμάτιο της κόρης μου. Είμαστε στην τελική ευθεία τώρα. Προσθέτω λεπτομέρειες και
απαλλάσσομαι από όλα τα δυσάρεστα ροζ. Είχα έναν τοίχο που έμοιαζε κάπως άδειο και είχα επίσης αυτά τα όμορφα δείγματα υφάσματος … στην πραγματικότητα το σκούρο μπλε ήταν μια λινό φούστα, αλλά κανείς δεν το φ,όρεσε ποτέ.
Now if there is one thing you all know about me, its that I love to reuse what I have at home. And naturally this was no exception. I cut them into triangles.
Τώρα, αν υπάρχει ένα πράγμα που όλοι γνωρίζετε για μένα, είναι ότι μου αρέσει να ξαναχρησιμοποιώ ότι έχω στο σπίτι. Και φυσικά αυτό δεν αποτέλεσε εξαίρεση. Τα έκοψα σε τρίγωνα.
Then I flipped them over and sewed the two sides, up to an inch from the top.
Τότε τα γύρισα από μέσα και έραψα τις δυο πλευρές, μέχρι δέκα εκατοστά από την κορυφή.
You can also glue them together if you don’t like to use needles and thread. I personally love to hand sew. Fun fact: I have a sewing machine but am too lazy to take it out and so I do most of my sewing by hand.
Μπορείτε επίσης να τα κολλήσετε μαζί, αν δεν σας αρέσει να χρησιμοποιείτε βελόνες και κλωστή. Προσωπικά αγαπώ να ράβω στο χέρι. Φαν φακτ: Έχω μια ραπτομηχανή, αλλά είμαι πολύ τεμπέλα για να το βγάλω από την θήκη του και γι ‘αυτό κάνω το περισσότερο ράψιμο με το χέρι.
Now I flip them over and this is very important, iron them so they become nice and stiff and take a triangular shape, Here is where we get to hide the imperfections by ironing the triangle to our desired shape.
Τώρα το ξανά γυρίζω και αυτό είναι πολύ σημαντικό, το σιδερώνω έτσι ώστε να γίνει ωραίο και σκληρό και να παρειά το σωστό τριγωνικό σχήμα, Εδώ είναι όπου κρύβουμε τις ατέλειες με το σιδέρωμα στο επιθυμητό σχήμα.
And now to hang them on that forlorn wall. I took a piece of twine (of course, how could I go for so many posts without using twine!!) and folded it in two. Then I folded the pieces of fabric over the twine and sewed the tops to close them over the twine.
Και τώρα να το κρεμάσω στον απεγνωσμένο τοίχο. Πήρα ένα κομμάτι σπάγγο (φυσικά, πώς θα μπορούσα να περάσει τόσο πολύς καιρός χωρίς να χρησιμοποιήσω σπάγγο !!) και το δίπλωσε στα δύο. Τότε δίπλωσα τα κομμάτια του υφάσματος πάνω από το σπάγγο και έραψα τις κορυφές να τους κλείσει πάνω από το νήμα.
And because I had lots of fabric left over I covered a few pillows.
Και επειδή είχα ύφασμα που έχει απομείνει κάλυψα μερικά μαξιλάρια.
It is not perfect, it looks kind of scrunched at the ends but I have extra twine so I can let it out and give more curve to the banner. I actually prefer it this way.
Δεν είναι τέλειο, φαίνεται κάπως τσαλακωμένο στις άκρες, αλλά έχω επιπλέον σπάγγο ώστε να μπορώ να το αφήσω έξω και να δώσω μεγαλύτερη καμπύλη προς τα πανό. Εγώ πραγματικά το προτιμώ
έτσι .
A bit of fabric can make all the difference. And that is how we can keep a wall from being lonely.
Ένα κομμάτι ύφασμα μπορεί να κάνει όλη τη διαφορά. Και έτσι μπορούμε να διώξουμε την αίσθηση μοναξιάς από τον τοίχο.

You should try it. It made all the difference in filling up that blank space, and it was not too overpowering. Thanks for stopping by!
Such a beautiful banner the fabric is lovely.
Thank you for the sweet compliment. Yes the fabric is a favorite of mine. I’m tempted to use it all over the place. Thanks for visiting.

Thanks, Anne, it really helps sew just a bit, but glue is also our friend.
Such pretty fabric Mary! I think it looks great and such a smart way to fill wall space!
Thanks for sharing at Something to Talk About!

Karen thanks for taking the time to visit.
Nice repurpose! Cute bunting!! I also love how you made pillows with the leftover fabric!! I’m like you I would rather sew by hand than machine. 🙂
Horray for hand sewing!! Thanks for the visit!!
I love bunting Mary! This is so adorable!
Thanks Katrin, It makes a huge difference in the room.
Hi there Mary, I wanted to say thanks for visiting my blog and leaving me a sweet comment on my TRASHY planter post….LOL…I tried to reply directly to your comment but you came up as a non reply blogger . Greetings!!!

Christine, I love “Trash”. I venture into the depths of my basement all the time looking for unloved things.!! I will definitely be following you, and thanks for stopping by!
They look great! I always think I’ll do something like this but then I never do. Maybe the next linen skirt I don’t wear will have the same fate as yours.
Stella, I keep clothes around for their fabric value… turning into a hoarder now… In this case, it was a good idea because the fabric is very pretty (photos do not do it justice). Thanks for stopping by!
I held onto clothes for upcycling for ages. In the end it got crazy and I donated all most all of them accept my favourites. This post is featured at #2usestuesday this week :o)
Mary-thank you for such a nice comment on my blog! I wanted to stop by and say hi. I love a pretty floral fabric, and I love pennant banners! Nice touch to the room! Have a great week 🙂
Thanks Nicki. So happy you were able to drop by! Thanks for your sweet comment.

Kim
Thank you Kim for understanding the fabrichoarder that is me. And thanks for sharing my post. I will see you again next week for sure!
Very cute! I’ve made a garland before with paper, but no fabric. The room is coming together nicely and I love the fabric on the pillows and banner. Very pretty!
Thanks Sharon, it’s been quite a job trying to get rid of so many colors and making it come together…
I love this! My mother made a bunch of pretty pennants, which we used this weekend to decorate in a spot for my daughter’s wedding.
Yes, they are so versitile. Thanks for stopping by!
