It is Gardening season in my area and if you have read other articles here you know that I am a fan of flags. I think they are one of the easiest and most rewarding projects you can create. Today I am releasing a new embroidery design that will sew an In The Hoop Water Me Garden Flag.
This design will sew a complete small flag in one hooping. I used polyester fabric but you could use canvas or duck as well. If your flag will not be exposed to the weather you could also use cotton fabric. I think these would be really cute on a front porch, in planters or even on a desk. I have seen the small flag holders at my local Dollar stores but most of the time, they sell out rather quickly. If you don't grab them when you can, they might not be re stocked. To avoid this problem, I have also included a template in the download you can use to create your own using a wire coat hanger.
Here is my flag holder once I finished it. I will advise you to wear eye protection and be careful because some hangers can be sharp. I used wire cutters and pliers to help me follow this template and bend the hanger. If you wanted to get extra fancy, you could spray paint yours also.
If you have some scrap fabric in your stash and end pieces of grosgrain ribbon, you can machine embroider one of these in under 30 minutes.
Then install your flag on your holder and decorate your flower beds or potted plants. If you have a gardener in your life stitch up several so they can use these to remind themselves which plants need to be watered. I have an instruction video that you can watch below to see how easy this In The Hoop Water Me Garden Flag will be. Don't forget Mother's Day is right around the corner. This would be a fantastic little gift to add to a seasonal plant.
I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create. Someone will appreciate your hard work.
