I have been busy making my Russian styled bunting.
First of all I took my matroyshka fabric
I cut out scallop shapes which I then backed with polycotton and trimmed with burgundy ricrac braid (from http://www.daisychaindesigns.co.uk/)
Next I cut out some plum coloured felt (from Paper and String) into an upside down Russian onion dome style shape. I layered the scallop shapes on top of the felt onion dome shape and sewed the two together.
Lastly I made binding out of some stash striped fabric matching my colours and attached it to make a string of Russian themed bunting for Christmas.
And there you are (Вот вам!):
How easy was that - don't know why it took me so long to get on with it.
I also have some Christmas nutcracker fabric which has been waiting for a project....hmmm! I can see more bunting in the offing!
Told you I was a bit obsessed with bunting? But why not join in? Feel free to ask me any bunting related questions you have and I will try to help!
