bunting love

I love bunting!
I fell in love with bunting 4 years ago when I first came across homemade bunting in The Creative Family book. 
I immediately rushed out and bought some green and pink fabric and made some bunting for The Girl's room, also used here for her garden party.
Then I made several lots of bunting for kids for their birthdays,
including this gorgeous one I made for B3 out of op shopped Hawaiian shirts.
Then there was the one out of newspaper for B5's circus party and let's not forget the map bunting I did for the study.

For ages I have been collecting doillies at the op shops so that I could make some bunting.
Yesterday, was the day I got my act together and actually made some to sell.

 
I made two white ones like this.

I made this one out of linen and fabric doillies, using some pretty bias binding I got from Fabric Traders

 I also made one of these out of music sheets as I sold out at the last markets.

 
Here is the map version.

 Then I made this one out of vintage Christmas sacks that I picked up at the op shop,
 I have enough to make two more.
I have done a tutorial on how to make this type of bunting as it can be a little fiddly, 
but it will last for years to come,
 and will be back next week to show you how it is done!

Do you love bunting too?

I am off to make a gluten free, sugar free Pecan Pie to take to a Thanksgiving dinner we are going to tonight.
I am so excited, I have never been to Thanksgiving before!
The host family moved from the US at the end of last year and have just bought a house, 
so they have invited our church to celebrate with them, it should be a great night!

  1. Deanne they are all gorgeous. You are really flying with the market stall thingy and it's a joy to watch. I particularly like the one with embroidery. My mum has a cupboard full of that she did as a young girl, but I doubt she would allow me to do much with it.

    1. I have seen on pinterest some very pretty table runners made with doilies and if you just put a stitch or 2 in them, you could easily pull it apart again and not wreck your mum's hard work!

  3. Love it! The doily one is gorgeous, but I'm keen on maps so I think it's my favourite.
