Ive been wanting to make some bunting for ages and finally got around to doing it this week.
I cut a triangle template at 4.75″ x 4.75″ using the pazzles. The fabric is a scrap bag of Moda material, but because the scraps are various widths i cut strips of all the different samples into lengths of about 2ft and sewed two strips together to give me enough width to use the template.
I sewed two triangles together right sides facing using a 1/4″ seem, turned them the right side out and pressed them.
I used bought bias binding which is about 1″ wide folded it in half and sandwiched the triangle inside it.
I used a decorative flower design just for a bit of extra detail.
This bunting is over 16ft long so Ive taken a photo of it just draped over the toy box and another close up.
Its for our craft room in our new house when we move later in the year.
Well here it is all finished and I have to say I love it. I have used zig zag stitching as my main quilting and a wavy line stitching down the long sides.
This is shown here on top of the toy box I painted recently and its for our new craft room when we move.
I chose the stripe originally and matched all the other colours with the help of the lady in the shop, it has all the colours of our crafting equipment in it.
Ive had itchy feet so to speak where crafting is concerned I still have all my stash packed away as we will be moving again in a few months but this mirror was one of the few things that came with us when we moved into our temporary house in march and i don’t really know why i kept it.
Its a fairly good size about 20×15 and used to hang in our ensuite.
It was a washed beech effect wood frame so i painted it a few weeks ago when I did the toy box and today I decided that I would etch it.
That was really because the etch cream happens to be in one of the large storage box’s that I can get to.
Ive seen a bird on a branch with a birdhouse somewhere recently on the net I have no idea where and I dont even know if it was on a card or layout anyway I have not been able to find it at all so I decided to make my own again based on an image I found whilst trying to find the other one.
I cut it on the Pazzles using vinyl, then transfered it to the mirror and etched it.
Anyway I think it turned out ok.
