Mumsnet Bunting Project

[OnlyWantsOne]

My friend's village has a "bunting project"

everyone in the village is making one bit, or a few bits, and then they are all being put together by some little old lady and used to decorate their new community centre.

I thought it might be nice (if there are any takers?) to do a MN BUNTING?

we could then donate it - give it - auction it between MN'rs and give proceeds to a charity?

I'd love to organise it, and attach all the bloody bits together

so who wants to do a triangle?

Any one want to help me organise it? Dimensions of the triangles?

We should decorate the triangle with some thing personal and special to you, obv you have to be happy to have it seen (and owned) by some one else?

Any one up for it?

Im going to applique on a fruit shoot bottle and the GREGGS logo

it is mumsnet bunting after all :0)

I am super excitied!!!!!

Ooh, could I sew on pom bears?

not actual pombears

Oh alright. Maybe just wooly ones then :)

I wondered if maybe SANDS would be a good cause?

onlywantsone* So do I PM you when mine is finished? Is it ok to be giving your adress out on the net?

[paranoid emoticon]

yeah I thought that mubling I will talk to MNHQ

Good call.

ok, 10x13 then!

I have to finish some dresses for the pretty dress appeal and my bridesmaids dresses, then I am all yours!

[coughs loudly]

BUGABOO

Oops, sorry SDTG - I'm all out of space, but hang on to them because unfortunately we'll probably need them soon

Just noticed this. A marvellous idea.

Have PMed you OWO, with my progress so far on raffling online. I'll let you know what's what once I know myself. Feel free to PM me with any questions re organisation or whatever.

I'm off to have a look through my fabric stash.

Have you thought about a last posrting date?

That'll be posting date.

What a lovely idea. I can do some triangles.

From experience ( I have made a lot of bunting in my time) you can buy hundreds of metres of bunting tape on ebay very cheaply, but if you can't find any and are desperate then blackout fabric cut into strips works really well and cheaply too (it doesn't fray)

Double sided triangles are best, and look even better if they are topstitched too.

overmy thanks for the tip - ive ordered 50 m of white bunting cotton tape from ebay (cheaply)

Knotty - I think closing date, my birthday (july 30th)

does that sound sensible im trying to be a grown up

I'll do some triangles, think I'll embroider some mn biscuits on mine.

we need one with a bat on it

I've done this picture to try and explain it better

That explains it perfectly.

Have returned your PM

Thanks for the diagram Onlywantsone! That's great.

Oooo to quote mighty mites " can you feel the energy" fab fab fab we need the beebies logo on one. And a boob.

You can tell I've been out can't you? Hic.

I'm up for it too especially as I have acquired a lovely new sewing machine in a swap with my mum and I am looking for things to do with it.

Perhaps we could have all the emoticons. I quite fancy but I am pondering what colour background I should put it on.

Great diagram. Are the measurements before or after the seam allowance iykwim?

before :)
