I made Christmas bunting

I made this bunting today. I will keep this for my home for Christmas. Now I can finish alterations on a bag and add it to Folksy and the CRAFTfest for November.

Orange Patchwork

I got the idea for this bag when I noticed the vibrant colours on a CD cover. I loved the orange tones with dark browns and white. I liked the ethnic feel and tried to recreate it with this bag Orange Patchwork.

I used this bright orange curtain material and used double thickness I added rich dark brown corduroy patchwork. I made pockets which close with velcro and stitched them to the front.  The finishing touch is this metal and white button. The bag has a crisp green/white cotton lining with matching pockets. These colours remind me of Autumn.

Choosing material for Christmas bunting.

I was looking through some material and found these pieces. I haven't made bunting before and would love to give it a try how exciting! It will so look colourful and festive strung along the mantlepiece this Christmas. I will have a go at making a table runner too, a first also.
