Bunting update AND Ta-Dah!

Back here I told you about a request for bunting for a newly decorated Tiny Angel bedroom, I had cut 13 and sewn 4 pennants and cut out and applied the applique for her name.

WELL...... I have since finished sewing all the pennants and embellished the applique letters with pink embroidery floss in a simple running stitch......

Once done came the decision on bias tape to make the string for the bunting. I popped onto eBay as there are some brilliant little fabric suppliers on there. I found the perfect thing called Molly from Favourite Fabrics.......... BUT...it was out of stock!

 

Disheartened, I just switched off for a few days, I would never find anything else as perfect, it matched one of the fairies dresses just so!

 

It nibbled away at the back of my mind and I gave in and decided that I would choose something else.

 

I popped back on eBay and whilst I was skimming about, couldn't help but look at my hearts desire once more............ and what do I discover to my complete delight?

 

Yes.....it was back in stock!

 

So I ordered it, it arrived, I cut 3 metres, placed my central pennant and worked outwards from there leaving about 7cm between each one. Pinned it all in place and whizzed it through the machine.

 

** At this point, I have to share that I dislike referring to my trusty side-kick as 'the machine', so I am contemplating a name and I am leaning towards a female name...but I digress!**

 

Bunting is now complete!

 

Want to see my finished bunting?

 

I am SO idiotically chuffed with this, really, it's silly, but I'm sure you get a bit dizzy with your successes sometimes.....ready.... Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHH!!
