Bunting
Making bunting for the Noah's Ark Hospice challenge can be a lot of fun and a good way to use up scraps of odd shaped and small pieces of fabric.
Each pennant needs to be 7" across the top and 10 1/4" on both long sides. A template cut out of acetate or card is useful for marking out your fabrics.
Here is a quick way of producing pennants. Sew two contrasting fabrics wrong sides together with random lines of decorative stitching or a wide zig zag. Mark out the pennants using the template. Stitch inside the pattern shape 1/4" away from the drawn lines, then cut along them with pinking shears.
Another method is to fuse Bondaweb to a piece of backing fabric as long as you like and no more than 12" wide; remove the release paper. Lay scraps of fabrics over the fused fabric making sure that it is fully covered and iron in place. Stitch over all the raw edges with a wide zig zag, or any other decorative stitch you like. Mark, stitch and cut as in the previous paragraph.
The pictures below show the pennants made using the second method above. Have fun!
