It\u2019s me, Camilla aka @she_sew_fabulous and I\u2019m back again with another tutorial for a great beginner friendly project, that staple of English fetes and cosy cottage core alike: How To Make Your Own Bunting!<\/p>\n<p>In this blog post, I\u2019m going to show you the basics of getting started and then you can adapt to suit.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no hard and fast rule about the size of the triangles, the colour co-ordinations, even the spacing of the flags, you really do have limitless creative possibilities, which is why it\u2019s such a fun project to work on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" aria-level=\"2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5938 \" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1-11.jpg\" alt=\"How to make a waterproof tote bag\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bunting is a great way of using up scrap fabrics and adds a lovely, handmade touch to any room.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also very straightforward to put together, making it a great newbie project when you\u2019re getting used to how everything on your sewing machine works.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get more confident at sewing, you can try your hand at making your own bias binding, or even putting small scraps together to make patchwork designs on your triangles. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_Your_Own_Bunting\"><\/span>How To Make Your Own Bunting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5949\" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/500-x-430-Blog-Tutorial-Middle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"340\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5948\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/500-x-430-Blog-Tutorial-Middle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"343\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fabric_Requirements\"><\/span>Fabric Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fabric<\/strong> (I estimate approximately 50cm of fabric for every 4 flags, but this will vary depending on the size of flags and whether or not it uses a directional print).

If you\u2019re making it to hang outdoors, consider using a waterproof fabric (<a href=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-waterproof-outdoor-tote-bag\/\">like the one I used in a previous blog on how to make a waterproof tote bag<\/a>) so that it doesn\u2019t get damaged by the weather.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve assembled your supplies, the first thing you need to do is create a template for your flags. I make this out of thick card so that it\u2019s sturdy and I won\u2019t accidentally chop through it, but you may prefer paper so that you can pin it to your fabric.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%93_Creating_the_Triangle\"><\/span><strong>Step 1 &#8211;

Sewing the Triangles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The sewing itself is really easy, as they\u2019re all straight lines.<\/p>\n<p>I allow a very narrow seam allowance by lining up the edge of the fabric with the edge of the foot.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want lots of extra fabric and bulk inside, so this works really well.<\/p>\n<p>Sew straight down and when you get to the point, lower the needle and pivot the fabric around to go up the other side, so that you get a continuous, neat straight line. You only need to sew the diagonal edges, not the top.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6383 \" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/9-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/9-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/9.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6384 \" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" aria-level=\"2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6385 \" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/11-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/11-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/11.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_%E2%80%93_Chop_Off_the_Tip\"><\/span>Step 6 &#8211; Chop Off the Tip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once sewn, you need to chop off the very tip, being careful not to chop through your stitches.<\/p>\n<p>This is to ensure a nice pointed corner when you turn them the right side up, as excessive fabric will prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6386 \" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6387 \" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/13-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/13-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukfabricsonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/13.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_%E2%80%93_Iron_the_Triangles\"><\/span>Step 7 &#8211; Iron the Triangles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once turned, iron the triangles so that they\u2019re nicely pressed together.
