Our small backyard garden is just perfect for our family, but earlier this spring I noticed that it was missing something. The garden needed a splash of color. It needed a bit of pizzazz. It needed a personal touch to make it our very own. Gathering supplies from around the house and the local fabric store, I collected the following items:
Fabric strips
(1/4 yard in width in various colors)
Pinking shears
My sewing machine and thread
(you could also use a hand
needle or good ol’ craft glue)
Fabric markers
Double fold bias tape
(two packages)

I used my pinking shears to cut the strips of fabric into 6 inch squares. Then the whole family took turns drawing pictures and writing on the fabric. I made one long seam down the bias tape to secure the squares and our new flags were connected in a colorful row – ready to hang in the garden.
