Beatrix, Birthday & Bunting.Baby got a last minute invite to celebrate her friend's 3rd birthday (I know that means I can't get away with calling her a baby much longer). With various school runs and wot-not I had little opportunity to get to the shops to buy a present, so decided that something home made would be just the ticket.
After a quick rummage in my cupboards I came up with: a piece of calico, some transfer paper (one of my favorite inventions), pink thread and bias binding and, hey presto, I whizzed up some personalised bunting. Every little girl likes a bag so one was made to match, and in went the bunting. It was finished off with a little badge made out of a couple of suffolk puffs and an old button.
So lovely. I would have stopped and congratulated myself at the bunting, but the bag elevates it - as a girl I would have had hours of fun, folding the bunting up and putting it in and out of its special bag!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I expect that went down a treat! Lizzie
ReplyDeletevery pretty and just perfect for a little girl
ReplyDeleteSo special! How about a tutorial please - never used transfer paper!
ReplyDeleteWish it had been MY birthday.
ReplyDeleteDelightful.
A very lucky little girl to receive such a lovely present.
I was thinking of making a Christmas version. I'll do a tutorial then, but you can buy transfer paper online.
