Isn’t it so fun? I love all the soft colors and the little scallops!

It is super easy to put together too – and I think it goes so well with my little Home Sweet Home Hoop Art!

So let’s get started on the tutorial k?

You’ll need:

• Assorted Vintage Sheets or fabrics
• Fusible Fleece
• Twill tape or bias tape for top edging
• Embroidery floss

*Please keep in mind that all Flamingo Toes patterns are for personal use only. Do not transfer or sell the pattern, or items made from the pattern.
Also, patterns are for Flamingo Toes followers, so please choose to follow along before downloading any pattern. Thanks!

Start by cutting out all your bunting and fusible fleece pieces. I used 12 scallops, but you can use as many or as few as you’d like. You will want to cut 2 fabric pieces and 1 fusible fleece piece per scallop.

Iron your fusible fleece onto the wrong side of one of the scallop pieces for each set.

Place the pieces right side together and sew around the sides and bottom. Leave the top open for turning. Clip the curve really well and turn right side out and press.

Thread a needle with 2 strands of embroidery floss. Sew a running stitch about 1/4″ inside the sewn seam around the sides and bottom.

Repeat for all your other little scallops.

Start with a long strip of twill tape or binding. Here’s a little “how to” for finishing off the end of your tape.
1. Fold the two ends in at an angle to make a little triangle.
2. Fold the little triangle down onto the tape.
3. Fold the tape in half, with the triangle ends tucked in.
4. Now you have a clean little edge to your tape!

Once your end is sewn, sew the tape together to give yourself a little room to tie or fasten your bunting. Mine has a little strip on each end of about 12″.

Place the raw, open end of the bunting onto the tape and fold the tape around it. Sew along the edge, adding bunting pieces as you go. Make sure the space between each bunting is the same.

Finish your twill tape the same way as the beginning – and now you have a super cute little bunting – all full of pretty little scalloped fabric pieces.

So fun right?

Hang it up with some pretty frames and artwork – and then plan to make up some more!

I’d love to know what you think!!

So I mentioned last week that I had a little announcement after my Fabric Weekend Roundup post – and this is it!

I am excited to stay that Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings and I are starting a new monthly series called “Sew Our Stash”!

I think I’ve mentioned that Fabric Weekend was amazing. :) The girls attending were the most crazy-talented sewing bloggers. Like, making entire outfits for the weekend. Pretty dresses, cute tops, Sabra even had some killer pants that I would never have known were handmade.

I used to sew apparel for myself all the time. I remember wearing outfits I’d sewn in Jr. High!! (I need to look up photos. They were probably horrific.) I made my wedding dress for heavens sake. But for some reason or another, I just got out of the habit of it. I think maybe not being the exact size I want to be has something to do with it. But that’s a story for a whole different post. ;) I don’t want to make excuses though. I have all this lovely fabric now – perfect for dresses, tops, maxi dresses – and I need to get to sewing!

Well, during the weekend, Marissa (from Rae Gun Ramblings) and I got to talking about how much we wanted to sew for ourselves more. So we decided to help each other keep our goals – and we’ve come up with the Sew Our Stash series to help us! We would love for you to play along if you want!!

We have committed to sewing more apparel – and at the end of each month we’re going to show off what we’ve made. We don’t have specific numbers or anything – but we will have at least one new thing to show off at the end of every month. We’ll be posting on the last Thursday of the month and we’d love for you to join the fun.

I’ve been browsing around, and I have some things that I’ve pinned that are my “to-do” list! These are just a few – I have a ton of “regular” sewing patterns too that I am dying to use.

So let’s have some fun with this! Stretch ourselves!! I know until I get in the swing of things, not everything I make is going to be perfect – or off the rack perfect. That’s ok!! The more I do it, the better I’ll get and the more I’ll learn. :)

We have buttons that you can grab – and we’ll be using the hashtag #sewourstash on Instagram and Twitter so you can follow along with our progress, and share what you are making too. (If you don’t have items in your stash you can make up into clothes, you can still play  along of course. I am not promising to not buy new fabric for this lol. If you buy it and take it home, it’s in your stash. Boom.)

Grab a button if you’d like to play along and post your apparel adventures – we’ll be posting on the last Thursday of every month. So you can look for our first post on June 27!!
Make sure you’re following along with Marissa too – I know she already has some awesome things in the works for this month. She’s definitely inspiring me to get going!!

So what do you think?! Are you in? :)
