We recently added a new section to the shop: Party Time!

Most of the things we make are food related. Lunch bags, napkins, mason jar cozies, etc. We’re also big fans of the summer picnic. With summer swiftly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere (though Massachusetts still has chilly mornings and the occasional frost), our minds are in full-on picnic party mode.

The first item in the Party Time section is one of my favorite things to sew pretty much ever. Nothing says “party” quite like a cheerfully charming party banner. I just love choosing all the different fabrics that go in to each one. I get positively giddy picking out all the stripes, dots, floral, stars, plaids. If I could wear a party banner without tripping all over the place, I would. That’s how happy these make me.

Whether you’re planning an indoor party or one outdoors, these banners will add that little something extra to make your guests smile. We currently offer a choice of 8 different color schemes:

1. Rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple
2. Sunset: Red, Orange
3. Citrus: Yellow, Green (Similar to the one pictured above.)
4. Celestial: Blue, Purple
5. Night Circus: Black, White, Grey
6. Patriotic: Red, White, Blue
7. Primary: Red, Blue, Yellow
8. Grab Bag: 12 different fabrics of my choosing

Of course, if you’ve got something special in mind, we’re happy to make a banner just for you in your choice of colors. Each banner is 9 feet long and consists of 12 triangles in 6 different fabrics. Choose the “grab bag” option only if you want me to pick out 12 different fabrics for you, in any color and pattern I feel like. MWAHAHHAH! *ahem*

Things are very exciting around the sparkle j designs barn these days, and a party banner is the perfect way to celebrate.

Cheers!
