Quick answer
The Crosscut Sewing Co. Fall Pennant Banner Kit Bundle is an advanced beginner project that teaches binding with bias tape, and it includes three monthly kits (September, October, November) with all fabrics, pattern pieces, and instructions to make festive fall banners.
What makes this kit different from a basic sewing project
This bundle is designed as an advanced beginner project, which means you should already be comfortable with straight seams and basic machine operation. The main skill you'll learn is working with binding (bias tape) to finish the edges of each pennant. If you've never used bias tape before, the detailed instructions guide you through the process, but expect a bit of a learning curve on the first banner.
Because the kit includes three separate monthly kits, you get a variety of fall-themed fabrics across September, October, and November. This is a chance to practice the same technique on different materials, which builds confidence faster than a single project. However, if you only want one banner for a specific month or event, the bundle may give you more than you need.
What you need to supply yourself
The kit provides two coordinating fabrics per month, bias tape, detailed instructions, a handmade label, pattern pieces, and access to online sewing classes. You will need to supply your own sewing machine, thread, scissors or rotary cutter, pins or clips, and an iron for pressing seams and bias tape. The instructions are reusable with your own fabrics, so you can make additional banners later without buying the kit again.
Decision rules for choosing this fall banner kit
- Skill level check: If you can sew a straight seam and follow pattern instructions, you're ready. If you've never used a sewing machine, start with a beginner kit first.
- Project goal: Choose this bundle if you want to make three seasonal banners and learn bias tape binding. Choose a single-month kit if you only need one banner or want to test the skill before committing. The bundle saves money compared to buying three individual kits, but only if you plan to make all three.
- Time commitment: Each banner takes a few hours to complete, depending on your experience with binding. Plan for a longer session on the first banner as you learn the technique. Set aside a weekend afternoon for the first banner; subsequent ones go faster.
- Fabric reuse option: The instructions are reusable with your own fabrics. After the kit, you can buy fabric remnants to make more banners for other holidays or events. This extends the value of the kit beyond the three months.
