@CraftyIrish you had better be careful. Bunting can sometimes induce dangerous reactions around here.

I remember my neighbour made loads for the Silver Jubilee, she worked, with most of the village at the local knicker factory.  All joined together with the band that went round the top of men's underpants.  By the time they'd finished I think everybody in the village had some.  My lot went to the Sally Army about 10 years ago.

@CraftyIrish Don't worry, ignore our Iminei  0_0

I can't remember the story now, but something to do with Demented Fairy who doesn't post here any more, so I think you're pretty safe  0_0

And I love bunting!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I love bunting too!  I haven't made any for a while, must look into it...

Lucky Auntie, the bunting will look lovely on her seating area!   :thumbsup:

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

 :laughing: Love how you called it String of Fabric. There, that'll appease the Bunting haters.  :laughing:

I just found my half finished Hallowe'en Bunting.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

I’ve still got the vintage bunting from my wedding in our loft. It was before I knew how to machine sew so I bought it from someone on eBay and it was gorgeous. I haven’t  found a use for it since though....  :thinking:

You don’t need an excuse to use a string of fabric.  Special occasion, outdoor eating area, across front of dresser, anywhere, anytime.  If you want bunting, let it roll.
