So I have this fabric to make bunting for my wedding:
Obviously flowers grow up so ideally I want them all growing from the pointy tip of each pennant towards the twill tape the pennants hang from.
However, this will almost halve the amount of usable fabric as I will be left with six upside-down isosceles triangles for every seven I cut (plus two right angled triangles at each end, which are also unusable).
So do I:
1. Have (almost) half the pennants with upside-down flowers? (It will be hanging from the barn beams and no one will be looking that closely.)
2. Accept that half the fabric goes in the bin?
3. Use some magical better cutting layout that some genius is about to share with me?
In case it makes a difference, the finished pennants are 18cm in width and 23cm long, the fabric is 140cm wide, I have 4.5m and I will use a 10mm seam allowance.
