This is not part of the competition but it seems to fit here.

Found some spotty fabric leftovers while looking for something else - as you do - and made 3m or so of bunting to use at the street party down the road next week.

Overlocked the long sides of the flags, practised turning corners on the overlocker, then found some 3/4 inch wide tape which folded over to enclose the tops and straight-stitched along.

StitchInTime’s entry

As the theme of this competition was “British” I have made a fabric tea set given that a cup of tea is often associated with “Britishness”.
  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

I had three pieces of fabric with a London or red/white/blue royal theme, but each were only ~24cm square and so extra contrasting fabrics were need for part of the teapot and saucers.

I found a free teapot pattern on Youtube, but even with the contrasting fabrics, I still had to resize the pattern resulting in lots of teapot and teacup toiles.

Structure for the items comes from two layers of cotton fabrics and one layer of quilt batting, with some additional interfacing in the teapot lid and some piping cord in the handles. The binding and decorations on the teapot were chosen to reflect a red, white and blue theme.

@StitchinTime ... Clever Clogs!

[realale]

Wow @StitchinTime those are superb!! They look very intricate and fiddly so not for me to do at the moment. the fabric sets them off a treat. 

[Lachica]

Wow, they're so intricate. Lovely work!

Bit of a last minute dash to get this one done in time, but here goes.

Mick's entry for the competition.

I've had this tiny enamelled badge on my bike jacket for years.

Took a picture, printed it out as an A4 enlargement.
Cut the pieces out and used them as pattern for what I hoped would be a bit of raw-edge applique.

Although in the event, the edges turned out not to be quite as "raw" as I'd hoped.
The tee shirt pattern was a freebie from Melly Sews, and the fabric is some stretchy stuff from the Dalton Mills "pot luck"
 bargain page. You never know what colours you're going to get, but in the event they do work quite well together.
