I'm kind of obsessed with banners like this.
I loved making this one. I picked fabric that felt a little vintage, and I love how it turned out.
I originally found the inspiration here. She stenciled her letters on, but I liked the look of applique better.
Here's the cool part: I ran the fusible web through my printer with the paper side up so I didn't have to trace the letters on by hand. I felt so smart with this idea. Make sure you print the letters backwards though!
I did this mock up to practice my blanket stitch length, and to make sure my proportions were right. Good thing I did this first. I put the Wonder Under on the wrong side :) Just iron it all on, and stitch around the heart and the letters. I chose a straight stitch for the letters and a machine blanket stitch for the hearts. You could zig zag, or do whatever you think is cute.
Then I sewed bias tape on, and that was it. I made my own so it would match that coral pink, but you could make it easy on yourself and just buy some.
All done. Love it.
Love it, too. Wish you could decorate my whole house.
