Flag Day

Did you know that Flag day is on Sunday? I like to dress my kids for the occasion. I figure they can wear the same flag shirt for Flag Day, the 4th of July and Pioneer Day (if you are a Utahn, which we are not). Last year I made this onesie for my daughter, Lily. I cut red fabric into strips. Then I ironed them on with fusible webbing. I then secured them down with a zig zag stitch and added 3 star buttons, purchased at Joannes.

I have not made the kids' shirts for this year yet. I don't think they will be done by Flag Day, but at least by the 4th. I figured this year I will make it simple by using red ribbon or ric rack for the stripes. As for the star I am planning on appliqueing a big blue one.
