Baby Bunting and a 'Diaper Cake'- Part 1 of 2

Drawing triangles on a 'fabric sandwich'...

...and machine stitching the two layers of fabric together...


...leaving the short sides open.


                                                     Cutting the pieces apart...


                          

                           ...turning them right-side out, and carefully pressing them.



                              Making a length of bias tape from the self-same fabric...



                             ...and stitching the bunting flags to it at regular intervals.



                                                   The vintage airplane fabric...

                               ...matches my soon-to-be grandson's nursery decor...



                         ...and because the bunting is reversible (to a baseball print)...

            ...I'm hoping that it will be used again, one day, as a birthday party decoration.



                                  A short length of bunting decorates the 'book bin'...

                                    ...and the longer length will adorn the gift tables.



                          We had a baby shower for my eldest daughter, recently...

         ...and my other girls and I prepared the table decorations and party favors.

                                   Next time: more airplane-themed decorations...

                                                ...including a 'diaper cake'! :)
