DYI Yard Sign Chervon - Yes it did

It's been a while since I've had time for a DYI project.  Well, the stars lined up and I did it.  Mollie and I both needed something with our house number on it.  I found some cute flags on  Pinterest, and decided to try. 

First, I cut a pattern from a paper bag.  I measured the metal piece that the flag will be on.  Then cut the pattern with a 1/2 inch seam allowance on each side.  The bag was shorter than I wanted so I added a few inched to the length. I chose a chevron pattern for each flag

 

.  With right side together, I began sewing 2 inched from the top, then stopped at the bottom and left about 3 inches unsewn to turn it right side out.  Then I repeated on the other side.  I turned it right side out and top stitched 1/4 inch from the edge.  Then with iron on numbers, I placed the house numbers and ironed them on according to package directions.  I picked up the numbers on clearance at Tuesday Mornings for 10 cents a set.  Any craft store should have them.  On the LSU flag, the numbers are on both sides, on the La Tech Flag the numbers were only on one side.  I top stitched each number on the Tech Flag.  If I make another 2 sided flag, I will iron on and top stitch the numbers before I assemble the flag.
