Work description
Step 1
Cut the fabric into pieces of 30cm x 40cm. Draw a flag on the A4 paper that is 15 cm wide at the top.
Step 2
In the middle of this line, draw a line 20 cm long 7.5 cm down. Now draw a line on both sides of the 15 cm down to the bottom of the 20 cm. Cut out this triangle so that you have a template for the flags. Place this template in the center of each piece of fabric and trace onto the fabric with a pencil.
Step 3
Sew the flag closed with denim thread over this pencil line along the long sides. It is best to start at the top of one of the long sides, so that you can finish at the other top.
Step 4
Attach the hoop to a piece of fabric so that the flag is in the center.
Draw the desired figure or word on the flag with a pencil. Choose colors of yarn and you can get started punching.
Step 5
Repeat this with all the fabric pieces.
Cut the flags all around, 1.5 cm from the denim yarn.
Step 6
Pull off the threads of fabric on both sides of the jeans yarn. This works best from the corners at the top of the flag.
Step 7
Cut the protruding threads 1.5 cm from the denim thread. Fold the bias tape in half, first sew 30 cm closed and then sew a flag every 5 cm. Then finish with 30 cm of bias tape.
