Despite bouts of gastro with the kids this week, I gratefully managed to finish a custom order for the lovely Rita from Gone Rustic. She is one talented lady, she makes amazing art quilts, and crochets like a rocket, so I felt quite humbled when she asked lil ol' me.
This bunting features fabric of her own design called 'secrets' ~ it's quite an intricate design, (do click on the photo to see the detail), but she only had four small different coloured pieces to give me, which were a bit less than the size of a fat quarter.
After a bit of measuring and cutting, (tenaciously I might add!) in the end I managed to get 4 bunting flags from each piece, and this is the effect....
I think her beautiful fabric really sings, don't you?
There are 8 flags in each one.
I love doing custom orders, it's great to see the effect of a fabric or size, that I don't normally do.
Head over to Kirsty's for some creative spaces that may surprise you.
Hope you are having a great week.

I do love the word bespoke- reminds me of Kevin from grand designs.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have bespoke bunting made from your own-designed fabric! That is just so cool, Luisa.
ReplyDeletePS my dad laughs at me when I use the word 'cool'.
Very very nice = so neat.

Beautiful fabric for bunting. I plan on making some for my son's room to spruce it up a bit but they won't be sweet looking like that.
ReplyDeleteLooks great - I am sure she will be happy with the result.
