Bunting for our Sewing Room

Recently, we had a big shelf put up by my friends dad and as soon as it was up, we both looked at it and thought the same thing - bunting! That's what it needs to prettify it (not sure if that's even a word but you know what I mean!). So yesterday we both rummaged through our fabric collections and looked for anything that was pink or purple. We then laid all the materials next to each other and worked out firstly, which ones didn't 'belong' then secondly, which order the ones left were going in! We already calculated out how many flags we needed....9....and we'd already worked out how we wanted the bunting to be made. We've seen all sorts of ways to make bunting but we used the two triangles of material sewn together method, turned the right way round, then top stitched all the way round. We then added the bias binding folded in half with the flags inserted in the middle. When we put the bunting up, we both went - aaaaawwwww and smiled - we both really like it which is just as well as we'll be looking at it for years! Hope you like it too!
