baby bunting

Emmy is truly a delight to work with. When the day came for her maternity leave (today!) I wanted to give her something at least half as delightful as she is. Behold, baby bunting. Small bunting, for the baby room - or hers to brighten up wherever she wants.

Made from fabric swatches and samples from the local community centre, like this and these. Approx 90% reuse (from commercial excess) and 10% new bias binding. Spontaneous, creative gifts like these are the reason I like to always have some bias binding lying around.

A simple gift. From one home to another.  Congratulations, Emmy!

the sunday pocket bunting

100% reuse

zero waste

What were once coloured fabric swatches have found new life as pocket bunting.

In order to achieve zero waste the entire piece of each swatch (uncut) had to be used. They have been folded under to create pockets.

Five little cards have been placed in the pockets. An aspiration, one for each day of the working week, written across the back.
