Making A Traditionally Sewn British Flag

[@HistoriaOrbis74]

This is ONE of the Best videos that I've seen in 14 years watching UA-cam. What a skill you have and the patience for the whole process. My hat's off to you, my friend!

[@ChrisDenby]

Thank you so much! Very happy that you liked it :)
Yes they do take a little while to make, but easier after lots of repetition

[@cobbler1539]

Goodness, there's more to flag making than meets the eye! Thank you for a very clear video.

[@ChrisDenby]

Very happy that you liked it! Yes British flags in particular are more complex than most other designs

[@shedactivist]

Brilliant and beautiful

[@ChrisDenby]

Thank you! I think British flags are a genuinely good design

[@gravit0nable]

Very useful for me as beginner in sewing. Thanks!!

[@glebsorokin]

This is so cool!

[@alabamatechwriter6959]

Well done!

[@VYZD846]

This is very impressive 😂 as a flag collector, I dream of being able to sew my own flags 😅

Amazing Chris, what would you charge for making one? I would love one for my garden, Regards

[@ChrisDenby]

Many thanks for your message!
Unfortunately I’m currently travelling without my machines, so at the moment I couldn’t make any.
This size seams to be between £25 - £40 among UK flag makers though.
The variation likely being which fabrics they are using :)

that's really beautifuö

[@YourAashique]

Watching again ❤

[@P.Aether]

This is just so nice. One of my favorite videos that I come back to. I really wish to learn to do this, but what are the materials/fabrics you are using?, because they look really good

[@ChrisDenby]

Thank you so much, really happy that you like it! This one was made in cotton. Natural fabrics have more visual texture, which I like :)

Thank you so much from Sydney

[@ChrisDenby]

Wow, Sydney! Thanks for watching, really glad you liked it :)

[@mrmillcake8525]

This is beautiful! But are you sure about the edging? =]

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

This is so gorgeously sewn! Wonderful work! One question: this is clearly a one-sided flag design, but if it had words, it wouldn't work. What's the preferred method for a double sided lag design?

[@ChrisDenby]

Thank you for your message.
Yes you're right, if it was a complex double sided design, then you would need to make 2 flags and sew them back to back.
Or just make 2 sets of the words and sew one on each side 👍

[@GameGabster]

What cloth did you use and at what gsm?

[@ChrisDenby]

This one was cotton fabric at 150gsm. Anything up to 200gsm works really well for a flag. For sustained outdoor use I might recommend polyester though, because cotton will run when wet

[@GameGabster]

@@ChrisDenby Thanks. I like the look of natural fibers though (also nice historical vibe).

[@ChrisDenby]

Yes I agree, in my opinion linen is the best for historical flags 👍

[@inheritedobsession244]

Great video, just what i was looking for. What type of fabric did you use? Cheers

[@ChrisDenby]

Thank you!
I was using cotton for this one, however I would suggest a polyester for sustained outdoor use because cotton dye will run when wet :)

[@allaboutflag102]

Hi, what fabrics are you using?

[@ChrisDenby]

Hi, I most often use linen or cotton. The one in the video is cotton :)
