Sedan min dotter föddes, har jag funderat på att sy ett flaggspel att ha vid kalas, det kryllar av dem på nätet, och en tanke som slagit mig många gånger är att göra det som en minnessak med tygbitar från barnens kläder.

Nu när dottern skulle till att fylla 18 år gjorde jag äntligen slag i saken, och sydde ett flaggspel, men av vanliga bomullstyger som jag hade liggande.
Jag klippte till en mall och vek tyget dubbelt för att få ut så många vimplar som möjligt i samma storlek. Genom att ha basen på vimpeln mot den vikta sidan fick jag liksidiga romber som var enkla att sy fast i ett svep. Som lina använde jag makramégarn som jag hade hemma, och eftersom mitt vimpelspel inte ska vara utomhus så bemödade jag mig inte med att stärka vimplarna med Vlieseline eller annat foder utan klippte bara till bitarna med en sick-sack-sax.

Så enkelt att göra så jag undrar varför i hela friden jag inte gjort det tidigare. Men en sak är säker, den förhöjer feststämningen i rummet, både den här gången och på flera fester framöver.

English:
For almost exactly 18 years, I’ve had the idea of sewing a pennant garland to hang up for birthdays and celebrations. They’re everywhere online, and I always thought it would be lovely to make one as a keepsake using fabric from the kids’ old clothes.

And now, as my daughter turned 18, I finally made it happen. Not with memory fabrics this time, but with some cotton quilt fabric I had on hand.

I made a simple template, folded the fabric double, and cut out as many pennants as I could. By placing the base of the triangle on the fold, I ended up with neat, symmetrical diamonds that were easy to stitch in one go.

For the string, I used macramé cord I already had at home. Since it’s meant to be used indoors, I didn’t bother with interfacing - I just trimmed the edges with a zigzag scissor to keep them from fraying.

Simple, satisfying, and finally done—just in time for her big day.

Today was the Kentucky Derby. I noticed Indy was watching from the couch, so I put a festive hat on him and promised chicken treats for his cooperation. Look at how thrilled he is!
