Garden Tea Party Flag Bunting with vintage lace - a favourite recently listed again.

Time to time I make a bunting style, it sells out then I don't quite getting around to making again.
After three years I've come back to a design that I have done before.
I made a small number of them, they sold out. So I finally got around to making more.
I love the pink and peach floral, it has a small 'pop' of blue & green throughout.

This bunting design is hand made from all new fabrics.
It's made from all cotton but it has a 'linen look'.

Total length is three metres (3m) / about 9.9 feet approx.
Eleven (11) flags in various NEW fabrics.
This set of flags is a lovely combination of Floral, Spots, Plain Neutral / 'linen look' fabric, etc and Vintage Broderie Anglasie Lace - Just Divine!


Now listed in my Madeit and Etsy online store.

Vintage style bunting - A new design for the 2016 year........

It was about time I worked on a new design.
I knew it should be pink, floral, pretty and romantic, perfect for a birthday garden tea party!
I have added a touch of lace - not too much.
Made from upcycled fabrics, vintage pink lace and using 100% cotton bias for ties, a winning combination I think!
:)
This 'Country Check & Lace Floral' Flag Bunting adds charm and style to any room!
Total length is three meters (3m) / about 9.9 feet approx.
This Flag Bunting is double sided/reversible - can be viewed from front or back, lace is only on one side.
There are no unfinished edges on these flags.
