Here's the method I used:
- I did some light math and determined how many triangles I wanted, how far apart, and how large they should be.
- Based on those measurements, drew and cut out my Isosceles Triangle pattern.
- Cut out twice as many triangles as I wanted to end up with, so that each would have a front and back.
- Sewed down each of the longer two sides, right-sides together.
- Turned them right-side out and pressed.
- Pinned and sewed them into double-fold bias tape, using a wide zig-zag.
I used a red paisley fabric I inherited from my Grandma. I was hoping it would give off a train engineer's bandanna vibe, but truthfully, it was the only red in the stash. I also bought a yard of the only Thomas cotton that Jo-Ann's had, only to later find some Thomas the Train fat quarters on clearance at WalMart. (Both the fat quarters and the extra fabric from this bunting ended up being used in his first birthday quilt.)
