Next Project - Bunting Day!!

How to make bunting

Download our bunting template and turn scraps of fabric into pretty decorations

You will need:
Fabric and thread
13mm-wide bias binding tape
Pinking shears

1) Draw a triangle on some cardboard and cut it out to use as a template; or print and cut out our downloadable bunting template.

2) Pin the template to your fabric and cut around it using pinking shears to avoid fraying. Repeat until you have enough flags.

3) Evenly space the flags along the bias binding tape, folding
the shortest edge over, and pin in place.

4) Sew on the flags with a straight stitch, leaving at least 40cm of tape free from flags at each end for hanging.

Sarah is coming home for a weekend on the 23rd (only one week to go then!) and we're going to sew bunting. I reckon I'll need at least 60 metres which will be a challenge, but I reckon it's doable! Now we've got the trusty sewing machine up and running again! Just need to find some lovely fabric and binding stuff now.
