I have been working on a few bits of bunting recently, including refreshing an old design. I originally completed this red and white design with a red organza ribbon to add a different material, however the see-through nature of it didn't work with the zigzag stitch I used to hold it in place and it cheapened the look of the bunting. To fixed it I unpicked it all and then reattached the flags to my usual style of bias binding in red, which looked much better! I will now be confident to put this out for sale looking as good as it can.
My next two pieces unusually are two of the same design. I don't usually make two the same of anything (as it's hand made can any two pieces ever be the same?!) but I loved the sewing print of the fabric and I'm hoping that any crafty individuals that pass the stall may also be attracted to it.
I used a forest green bias binding to attach my flags to compliment the lovely deep green in the pattern of the fabric.
Pressing the bias binding and deciding on an order for the patterned flags.
Over Christmas I put together a spreadsheet to note down all of my measurements, costs and details for all of the items that I have made so far. It has come in very useful so far however I always think of things that need to be added so it is a constant work in progress!
Unfortunately I don't have any thread to match my lovely forest green so pinning was as far as I was able to get this weekend. I shall look forward to finishing this set of bunting next weekend!
