Seam 2 Rip

Jon bought a very cool wall hanging online. He wants to use it to block out the sun coming from a window on his  front door. The sunlight was ruining his art. I found a lightweight vinyl with a thin layer of flannel on the back. No light gets through, and it seems to be perfect for what he wants.  It was a little tricky to sew. There is slippage factor I didn’t think of when I purchased it. I used fusible interfacing on the corners, and along the top of the back of the vinyl. Yes, fusible! Wouldn’t recommend ironing vinyl, but using permanent press setting works really well. Two layers of interfacing on the corners support the small buttonholes I used for mounting.

I am happy with the result.  I learn something new with every project. 😉
