Vintage Fabric Bunting - Homemade

I know!! Everyone can make bunting, but being as its a Jubilee year I thought I'd get my bunting out and put it up for my daughters birthday. I made this last year out of a stash of vintage/retro fabric I'd been given. We all love bunting.....don't we?

Vintage Bird

My daughter was facinated with my sewing machine, we decided to do a mini project together so she could see how it works.  She chose the fabric and designed the shape of the bird.  The currect issue of Mollie Makes magazine came with some vintage style buttons which we used for the eyes.  It took less than a hour from start to finish and she loves the end result.  She decided to call the bird Violet.

My Craft Corner....a work in progress

Over the Easter holidays we had a sort out and I have now got my very own craft area, as you can see from the images it is in its infancy, however I plan to keep my blog updated with my progress.  I have got out my 1970's Jones Delux sewing machine, inherited from my late Nan who was a fantastic seamstress. I have also been lucky enough to have been given an Singer 201K (1954), this is a lovely old machine that has not been used for over 20 years so is in need of some TLC.  I cannot wait to make this corner of my house in to a productive sewing and crafting workshop.
