Pirate bunting

I was asked to make some bunting for two little boys' playroom

 

 

 

I've used Laura Ashley gingham in red and blue

 

I've used a jute string to thread through the top, rather than my usual bias binding top

 

The reverse is a selection of Ikea and various vintage from my stash

 

 

Sizzix pirate skull, with heat and bond, then machine embroidered with a darning foot

 

 

I sewed the front of the gingham by machine, but did the reverse by hand so that the stitches were invisible for a neater finish
