During art night with my mom and sister a couple of months ago, I did some doodling and came up with this idea for a birthday bunting. I liked the combination of these colours that I picked from my set of pencil crayons, so did a pattern with them.
The fabric is 100% cotton in BASICGREY grunge for Moda. I ordered it from Riverside fabrics and cut out enough for one "Happy Birthday" sign below. I have enough fabric for a second one so will likely make it after some practice. I must say it was a joy to cut as I used my rotary blade and got into a rhythm. There wasn't a lot of waste too as the pieces are mainly rectangles.
My plan is to sew each piece together, right sides together, turn them inside out, then add the letters with iron-on cut with the Cricut Joy. I'm borrowing the machine at the moment and have used it a bunch of times already to make some stickers. I just haven't done letters before (I've just used procreate for the images), so that's going to be an adventure.
I'm not quite sure if I've got enough time to finish it by my oldest daughter's birthday, but I sure am going to try! It will definitely be done by both birthday parties.
