Well this 'project' got better as the day went on, first it was the yellow/red stripe (found Spanish flag ribbon on eBay) then another 5 with a green/blue/red stripe and 3 with a - wait for it - brown/green/yellow/red stripe - I laughed my head off and sent them pictures of tartan ribbon to check out their sense of humour (- none). Anyhow I was hoping I could get away with the Spanish flag but no, now they wish for just yellow. I've ordered some 50mm yellow ribbon and decided I will fold it half, iron it, envelope the edge, and then it's just once seam to sew. I'm beginning to think bias binding would have been easier...

Catllar - precisely, thin end of the wedge comes to mind. It was Basteltag (craft-day) on Sunday to prep props for the jamboree, one scout mum had made about 12 caveman outfits out of hessian, I kept my mouth well and truly buttoned. (They did look great though!)
