Shabby Chic Bunting

I love bunting, and thought I would have a go at making some for the smallest ones bedroom.

I used the "how to" from CrossStitcher Issue 223, minus the Christmas cross stitch needlework.

The felt and fabric came from Hobbycraft, and the ribbon came from a lovely little fabric shop in Rugby:

Mo's Fabric and Dance - 01788 540930

I wanted a distressed/shabby chic look for the bunting. Once I had hemmed the fabric triangles, I sewed them onto the backing felt about 1cm in so that a "loose" edge was left.

It was quite a simple task once up and running. And I think it looks great in her room. Please excuse the washing in the mirror, at least its not a naked reflection of me!
