The GLYPH Sew Simple Shapes

and the LETTERS Sew Simple Shapes

For the kick off to this sew along 

I did a video tutorial on my

 YOUTUBE Channel 

to show you how to make the banner shapes 

that the letters (or numbers) go on 

as well as how to make the letters too:)

Today is the fall banner:)

The same methods shown in the first

 three tutorials also apply to making 

these banner shapes and letters

for the fall banner as well.

All of my shapes are cut,

 traced and ready to sew!

For prepping the pumpkin stems,

 I used Glyph 10 and cut 

seven 4" squares of interfacing 

then traced the top half of the 

Glyph onto each square.

When I sewed I left the bottom

 of stem open for turning:)

When tracing for the two candy corns

 I traced one side then 

flipped over and traced the other.

I traced a curve on the top two corners

(which will end up being the 

bottom two corners of the candy corn)

Using Letter J and tracing...

By placing in the corners like this.

Now that is your

 sewing line for those corners:)

Before you sew the candy corns 

you will need to piece these three

 4" x 13" strips together...

Then you can pin, 

making sure horizontal seams are

 straight with the shape before sewing:)

All shapes are sewn and trimmed...

and inner curves and cleavage areas clipped.

I have cut the interfacing

 for turning as well.

***TAKE NOTE***

On this banner I DID NOT

use the backing fabric 

I just used interfacing for the back

of the pumpkins and candy corns 

instead of fabric because where I am 

hanging it the back will not show*

All of my shapes are sewn 

and ready to assemble and glue!

I'm glad I added the curves 

to the candy corns...sew cute!!

I love these pumpkins too. 

I plan on making a banner with just 

the pumpkins without letters 

on them for Thanksgiving:)

But for Halloween 

I'm adding the "OCTOBER" letters:)

Last but not least I added the "31"

I love how they turned out!

I'll be using my clothespins to 

hang them for all of the 

trick or treaters to enjoy...

especially my grandkids:)

Thanks so much for joining me today

for the fourth tutorial

for the Say-It Sew Along!

I will meet you right back here later 

for the Bee Prepared post for my

"THANKSGIVING WITH GRANDMA"

Sew Along

Until then,

HAPPY SEWING
