Bunting:

  1. Match the pieces of the bunting fabric together with the right sides facing and sew around the edges, except for the upper edge.
  2. Trim the seam allowances at the corners, so the seam edges are easier to manipulate and bulk is reduced.
  3. Turn the bunting pieces out to the right side and sew onto one side of the tape, with the right sides facing together, leaving a distance of 1 1/8” (3 cm) of tape between the individual bunting pieces.
  4. Sew the tape closed with a row of topstitching.

Poster

  1. Make a 3/8” (1 cm) double hem at the sides and along the lower edge and topstitch in place.
  2. Fold 3/8” (1 cm) inwards and then 1 1/8” (3 cm) inwards again along the upper edge to make a casing to pass the wooden pole through. Stitch in place.
  3. Pass the pole through the casing and knot the cords onto each end for hanging.

The Candy bags

  1. Fold the bags in half, with the right sides of the fabric facing together, and sew the sides with a 3/8” (1 cm) seam allowance. Make the upper edge hem: turn 3/8” (1 cm) inwards then turn another 3/4″ (2 cm) inwards and stitch in place around the whole of the upper edge contour.
  2. Make the handles: fold in half lengthwise and sew along the side with a 3/8” (1 cm) seam allowance.
  3. Turn the handles out to the right side, then turn 3/8” (1 cm) inwards at the ends to create a neat finish. Place one end of the handle at each side of the bag. Stitch in place.
