Fabric Bunting Flags

This fall a good girlfriend welcomed her first baby, a girl!  Mom had put together one of the prettiest
 and tasteful nursery's I have seen, calm and feminine but not to in your face girly.

With the beachy, nautical theme in mind I wanted to make a gift that would fit the decor.

Bunting flags are so cute, I think no decorating is complicate with out a festive strings of little flags, especially in a baby room.

I went with a palate of teals, grey, cream, yellow and a pop of bright pink.
This is also a great project to use up fabric scraps, its quick
and pretty easy!

You will need.

-Fabric (fat quarters work great for this)
-double wide bias tape (as long as you want the sting to be)
-Card board (as a template)
-Iron on letters (if you like)



Step 1.

Measure and cut your cardboard template to 

size, keeping in mind seam allowance (about 1/4 in) The dimensions of my flags were 5in by 3in

Step 2.
with Fabric inside out and sew together the two sides, leaving the top open. Turn fabric right out out, using a point tuner (or a pencil) to turn out the tips of the flags. Top stitch with a contrasting color along the edges for decoration if you like

Step 3.
Tuck the flags in to the fold of the bias tape and pin. Repeat with all the flags making sure that they are evening spaced. Sew along the entire length of the bias tape. (try a fancy stitch and contrasting thread)

Step 4.
Iron on letters if you like (I didn't know the babys name yet so sent them blank.)
                                               

Hang and admire your hard work!
