Finished all the bunting I intend to do, and in my wisdom, I decided it would be a good idea to finish the overlocked corners with PVA, as I knew this dried clear.

What I hadn't bargained for was that the colours would bleed and run, and also leave dark stains...It'll have to do, I'm not doing that lot again!

I can guarantee that once it up and fluttering in the wind, no-one will notice.  Think you've done a great job there btw.

No one will notice @b15erk.  They’ll just see the very effective red white and blue bunting.

Tape arrived yesterday, so I started sewing the flags on.  I've done 2mtr lengths with 7 flags each - this means I have 5 left over, so I need to make another 2 flags, or keep them in the box for the next jubilee...  :rolleyes::thinking:

Personally I don't feel I would be too optimistic on the thought of a 'next' jubilee and make two more!

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Well Done-

Though i admit that bunting is not my thing, your work looks very pretty. BTW i had to look twice to see the colour bleeding... Good Work!
