pendant banner

i made this pendant banner months ago for a going away party and never used and never took a picture. i was in a mega rush when i put it together so i didn't take pictures along the way. it was pretty simple to put together but a little time consuming. due to the set up of the party, we couldn't even use it. i was a little bitter for a while, but i was so excited when it matched the color scheme for nettie's bridal shower. i made it to say congrats or good luck by changing out the letters.

you might think this picture is about the people, but it's actually about the banner above their heads


here's the gist of how i did it

cut triangles out of coordinating fabric
sew a gathering stitch along the top edge of the triangles
gather each triangle separately
pin triangles together 
sew a straight line attaching each triangle to the next
velcro letters to center so they can be changed out for different occasions
hang with tacks
