How Do You Make The Flag Of Switzerland?
The flag of Switzerland has a simple design of a white cross on a red background. It can be easily replicated in any craft, but this method details how to sew a Swiss flag out of fabric using applique techniques. Cut a rectangle from the red fabric 3 feet wide by 2 feet high (or any desired size). Fold, press and pin ¼-inch double-folded seams on all four sides of the flag. Machine sew the seams with a straight stitch. On the cardboard, draw a plus-sign shaped cross with each side measuring 5 inches and a total height and width of 15 inches. It can be made by drawing one square 5-by-5 inches and then adding another 5-by-5 inch square to each side of the middle square. Cut the shape out using scissors. Trace around the cross template on the white fabric and cut out the shape, leaving a ¼-inch margin all the way around. Snip into the seam allowance at the inner corners of the cross. Press the margins under to the wrong side along the pencil outline of the cross and baste them in place us
