1) Choose front fabric and backing fabric and cut out triangle template. There are many templates online or in the backs of craft books which you can rent from the library. I chose a size and drew it on the back of a cereal box and cut it out. Remember when you cut any fabric with a pattern that the pattern faces the same way. I always cut 7 triangles so you will need seven front and seven back triangles.
2) Pin a front and backing triangle together wrong sides together and stitch in chosen thread down the edge of the triangle. I use the edge of the footer as my guide. Repeat for all seven triangles.
3) Once they are stitched together use some pinking shears to cut down each edge. This is my favourite effect for bunting.
4) Repeat for all 7 triangles.
5) Press each triangle and press over chosen bias binding. Some people prefer to use bunting tape but I just prefer bunting. Use whichever. Slip each triangle in between the binding and pin in place. Remember here to leave some extra bias at the first and last triangle so you can use this to tie up somewhere.
6) Repeat so all triangles are pinned in place.
7) I didn't take a picture of the next step but basically go back to your sewing machine and stitch along the bias, removing a pin at a time so all triangles are sewn in place.
Easy peasy!!
