The rest of our country might be festooned even as I type.<br /><br />Wish I saw more around here! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-82559115321812551822009-08-10T22:50:16.532+01:002009-08-10T22:50:16.532+01:00Thank you for your nice comments everyone. Elizabe...Thank you for your nice comments everyone. Elizabeth, I have emailed you with vague instructions but for anyone else who is interested, here's how:<br /><br />Just draw a triangle template (fat isoceles) on card, then draw round it onto some fabric. About five or six different fabrics is best, some plain, not too many different patterns. Cut them out. You can sew them together or just use single triangles if your fabric isn't too thin or you don't mind it being one sided. Then, get a long length of bias binding (I get it in rolls off Ebay) and start sewing it in half, folding as you go. Leave half a metre or so at the end for tying the bunting up. Then, add the triangles along the length of binding so that their tops are trapped within the folded binding. Just keep on sewing one long line on the machine, tucking the triangles in as you go. It's a good idea to decide on the order you want them to go beforehand. When you've finished just leave another half a metre or so and finish off.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563878298811062442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-48955882097632265182009-08-10T22:33:08.688+01:002009-08-10T22:33:08.688+01:00Your bunting is naturally very tasteful and lovely...Your bunting is naturally very tasteful and lovely but they can’t always be said.<br />Harry has some very cute mini bunting that his Auntie Stella made.Gigibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171021812450232039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-51029534907031463922009-08-10T21:56:28.299+01:002009-08-10T21:56:28.299+01:00how very lovely and romantic ;) quintessentially e...how very lovely and romantic ;) quintessentially english!

It tells people they're going to have a good time. So enjoy your celebration.<br /><br />Lisa xBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-85159259028493755532009-08-10T18:22:28.612+01:002009-08-10T18:22:28.612+01:00You give me so many ideas!
