My sister had asked if I could make her some bunting for Christmas this year. As P was away last week I had some spare time and thought why not make the bunting for her now so that she can hang it up and enjoy it whilst the weather is still good (well, relatively good anyway.)
I followed an excellent tutorial over at Homemade and Happy and the whole lot went together really easily and simply.
I had all the bits of fabric already - much of it thrifted in one way or another, I just had to decide what colours to choose and how to place the finished pennants for the best effect. I was particularly pleased to unearth the cat fabric as my sister has two cats of her own who are often to be found in the garden. I bought some white bias binding on ebay (£2.99 incl. free P&P) and away I went. My sister's delighted with her very early Christmas present and I'm feeling inordinately proud of myself too. If my own garden wasn't such a jungle I'd be tempted to make myself some as well.
Love it! I keep thinking I'll get around to making some, but haven't yet.

I love it. I enjoy making it, too, great way of using up all those scraps of retro fabric left over from other projects. x

Hello there!
Thank you so much for the link to my tutorial, that's very kind of you.
The bunting looks gorgeous - there's so much of it and the vintage fabrics have worked really well. Go on - make yourself some - it will always make you smile :-)
xx
