I finished Alexis' banner just in time for picture day yesterday.
Don't comment on the name...Alexis and I were the only one's out-voted. We wanted Orange County Girls or Orange Crush. Oh well.
I knew this name could be way over-done and cheesy. Hopefully, it's not too much. I did use the paper dolls cartridge as a pattern just like last years banner. I figure this might be the last year I can replicate the players since there will be too many players on the team next year.
After cutting everything out of felt I hand stitched orange yarn around each letter in the title. Seems time consuming but I did it while we talked and watched movies in Big Bear on Labor Day. When it was all said and done Friday night...Chad commented on the lack of hearts. So I added the hand stitched white yarn around the edge with an orange heart every few stitches.
It turned out good considering the name didn't give me any inspiration. And once again, it was half the price of ordering it. So worth it.
