Spring Time = Bunting Time!

It’s officially spring, yay! …which, naturally, means its time to make bunting! Yards of beautiful handmade bunting made from floral fabrics, French linens and vintage lace –just perfect, and absolutely necessary, for spring time parties, (I’m thinking tea parties!) or to bring seasonal colour and life to bedrooms and homes!

Today we are making mini bunting, which is as delightful and fun as normal bunting…but is extra awesome because it’s MINI! We are using the cutest flower fairy material (cuteness overload!) as well as a beautiful blue colour scheme.  

The photos show our process, from cutting out the triangles of material to sewing them all together! Each line of bunting is a meter long, so perfect to hang along a cabinet or along a bookshelf. Does a little loved one have a birthday coming up? Or perhaps a baby shower? This mini bunting would be perfect! 

Time for tea! ....after making some lovely teapot cards!

Today we are making some lovely teatime inspired cards... they are my personal favourite and absolutely classic!

To make these cards we each have different jobs... one will cut out the shapes, mount and stick while the other sews sews sews! Every single teapot is unique, and we always make sure each one is different.  Today we have mounted them on some gorgeous natural linen, and used vintage and floral materials for the teapots.

We start by adding a freehand machine embroidery foot to our sewing machine, which allows us to create these tactile illustrations. This morning we are stocking up, so every process is done on mass (from cutting out the teacup shapes to cutting all the threads). The last stage is to mount and stick onto cards, ready to be photographed!  

For these cards we added some lovely vintage lace along the bottom (we found it at a car boot sale!).
