I call this Bunny Bunting!

More bunny rabbits!
I know it's not time yet to think about Easter, but these are so cute I had to show you.



Five little bunnies, made from scrap pieces of fabric, slightly padded then backed with felt.
The faces are hand embroidered.

I think they'll look great at Easter, and would also make a lovely decoration for a little girl's room.

Advent bunting

I've had this idea in my head for ages - I'm not saying it's all my own idea, I'm sure it's been done before! 
I bought a metre of Christmas fabric and made 24 pockets (roughly 5 inches square) and stitched them at regular intervals along a length of bias binding.


The numbers are hand embroidered onto felt - oh, how I hate hand sewing!


And now it's strung around the hallway, ready to be filled with treats!

Speedy bunting :)

I finished making this bunting last night ready for the Royal Wedding fever.
(Although of course I'm planning to keep using it for many parties in years to come.)
It was pretty simple; I cut lots of triangles out of old curtain samples, using the pinking shears to avoid hemming.
Then I put 2 triangles back to back and machine stitched along 2 edges.
Repeat many many times!
Then pin all of the triangles along some cotton tape - fold the tape over to sandwich the unsewn triangle edge in side - and machine stitch all the way along.
