Remember the Curves Class I signed up for? One of the first week's projects was this scallop bunting. I chose this project mainly because it was the quickest & required the least amount of shopping for extra supplies {time and money were both in short order about the time class started}
But honestly, bunting really doesn't do much for me. I had a hard time deciding on fabrics, thinking that I wasn't going to want to hang this up when it was done, and I didn't know anyone I could gift it to. It crossed my mind to make a Christmas version, but I didn't have enough Christmas fabrics left. And besides, I really need a break from Christmas ;)
I thought about a baby girl version, with a specific new little one in mind, but I wasn't sure if the parents would want to hang it up in their nursery.
{ideally, I would have vacuumed before taking pictures. but if I waited for the ideal situation, I'd never get anything done. so please pardon my dirty carpet} :)
Anyway, I went stash shopping, and somewhere in between fabric flying out of drawers/cubbies/bags etc I found my little bundle of Halloween fabric. Perfect!
These were set aside for a quilt, but I don't think using these little bits will mess up those plans much {we won't mention how long these fabrics have been waiting to be turned into a quilt. Or that I ended up prewashing 9 yards of fabric for a project that needed 2 FQs}
my 7 year old helped sew the final stitches on the double fold bias binding, and our first Halloween decoration is currently hanging in the living room! :)
I love when a project turns out so much better than I anticipated!
