My lovely husband decided to paint our ensuite bathroom last week when I was at work. After 4 years of living in a magnolia house, we are slowly getting there on the decorating front! The problem with painting is that it provokes further embelishment so now it needs something nice to look at on the walls.
Anyway, I was looking at this post on Buttonbag’s blog, and realised it would be fairly easy to knock together some bunting during one of Millie’s naps. I drew out one of their template sizes, but then slightly changed it to be 12 x 15 x 15 cm. As many of my offcuts of fabric have a tendancy to fray I double sided them right sides together, sewing along both 15cm sides and turned them inside out to have neat triangles. I didn’t have any bias binding to hand, but I did have a long enough piece of satin ribbon, which was wide enough to fold over, making a really neat finish along the top.
It only took about an hour to make seven triangles and finish it off with the ribbon. It’s a very petite set of mini-bunting, but it is the perfect size for the ensuite. Now we just need to choose the right picture for the wall underneath.
