Fabric scraps to wedding bunting

CMM · **Posted: 09-08-2011 , 12:15 PM** #1

Didn't take a before picture but basically I was donated a big bag of fabric scraps which I turned into gorgeous bunting for my wedding last weekend, a big thank you to Bibi for the donation!

Bunting was made by cutting out triangles, sewing them together back to back on a machine, turning them right way out and attaching them to bias tape with wonderweb :)

Hi CMM,

Just when those little pieces of fabric thought they were on the scrap-heap, you rescued them, cut them down to size (in the nicest possible way), and then raised them up on high for one final Hurrah! No doubt, in their new heady surroundings, they were a little strung out at first, but when the happy wedding party arrived, they couldn't but get into the swing of things!

CMM, such eco-creativity on your part bodes well for a prosperous and happy life.
Congratulations, well done, and thanks for sharing!

Regards

I agree, totally hilarious! Hopefully after all that sewing, the bunting won't have had its last outing.
