Just finished a exciting little project completed 3 Buntings. Buntings are great to decorate an empty wall or add extra color to a babies or child's nursery. As being made of fabric they are easy to wash.
If you don't have the time to sew together bunting you can cut out the fabric shape with pinking shears and sew the bias binding along the top. A sew easy project.
