I bought a pair of pinking shears yesterday!

[CerealOffender]

I somehow knew the name of the things subconsciously. i saw some letter bunting in john lewis yesterday and thought 'that looks like a piece of piss to do, i shall go off and buy some pinking shears'

i now feel like i should be in an anne of green gables book.

here is the letter bunting

Oh I want to make that letter bunting now. I already have pinking shears (boasts) - guard them jealously, or small children will want to use them for snipping up paper into pretty patterns

Pinking shears are a great investment - I had to make bunting for my first craft stall this weekend. I was using felt so no fear of fabric shredding but it looked great!

Also brilliant for seams.

Can you just use pinking shears for normal bunting & not actually hem? This is a very tempting prospect for me, as I need to produce some bunting quickly
