Bunting. Surely even I can cut out some triangles and sew them on some bias tape?
Things I learned.
I bough the wrong width bias tape - the fatter stuff would have been easier so I could fold it over the top of the triangles - in the end I had to sew 2 lots together.
It really does pay to take time cutting out the triangles so they are all the same size (it's not only my sewing skills that need to be improved)
Putting your foot down on the sewing machine and closing your eyes can sometimes make a straighter line than if you look.
And a mere 4 hours and (not too much stress) later we have 10 meters of Christmas bunting to decorate with :-)
Luckily for my mediocre sewing skills, bunting is usually not close enough for anyone to see the mistakes
Hey, dodgy sewing or not, that bunting looks super cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I've got a set of Golden Hands books for you - want to collect them next time you're in Wellington? They're pretty heavy!
Oh I do love me some bunting! Woohoo! I think it looks fantastic. Well done
ReplyDeleteWell it's good to know there's someone else who is prone to these sorts of sewing issues! I think you did a fantastic job :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it :)
I think we sometimes think everything has to be so perfect we beat ourselves up, I am terrible at that but in art any mistake is called a "Happy Accident" I just wish I could apply it to my sewing, oops!!! :)
Have a lovely day, cheers, T. :)
