Downunder Dots Feather Banners
Presented by Linda Sanders Willunga, South Australia
Linda began working with 200 denier flag nylon in 2000, after deciding that banners made out of kite ripstop creased far too easily, were extremely noisy, and faded FAST!
Her method is “inlaid applique” - a similar technique used in leadlight glass artistry, where each coloured piece is hotcut then inlaid into the background (also pre-cut).
Applying zigzag seams to the overlap produces the characteristic outline shadow around each coloured piece.
NO back-cutting, NO double-sided tape, and fabric which has “give” so even tiny mistakes can be swiftly corrected!
Each kit comes complete with paper pattern (reusable), pre-cut pieces, sleeving, top cap and full instructions (you’ll bring your pole with you for the final reveal).
