Over this last week I made 10m of bunting out of fabric scraps. I made it for my daughter's birthday party this weekend... I love making bunting. It's so easy, but so effective and summer fete-y. Which is quite kitsch I suppose!! I've compromised my very own raison d'etre with 10m of bias binding and some left over fabric!
I made it by cutting out triangles, sewing their wrong sides together, turning them right sides out, pressing them and then sewing them into the fold of a long piece of shop bought bias binding. Just one d'oh moment when I managed to miss one of the flags and just stitched the bias binding together! To fix it, I simply needed unpick the bias binind and restitch it more carefully with the flag in place.
I've also been working on the shift dress in the jersey fabric that I mentioned at the end of my previous post. It was going spiffingly until I had to add the zip. That was very hard and it might just be an in unpickable disaster! I'll return to it over the next week and let you know!
