Cozy Christmas Sew Along - Cozy Bunting Tutorial!!

Good morning and welcome to

 another tutorial during my 

Cozy Christmas Sew Along!

Today I'm showing you how I made my 

#CozyBunting

Once again...

I used the B-14 from my 

Cozy Christmas

Sew Simple Shapes 

for this weeks tutorial.

It's the perfect size for a cute bunting!

You will need two - 4" squares

 of the same print for each bunting piece.

I cut 38 sets... 

for a total of 

38 bunting triangles.

Or you can use two sets of 

Cozy Christmas 5" Stackers:)

I used these plus some of the prints 

in the Cozy Christmas fat eight panels.

I used one 4 yard package of

 1/4" double fold bias tape.

I placed 2 matching prints

 with right sides together like this.

I traced all the way around the

 B-14 Sew Simple Shape 

on one of the squares only 

and then pinned together.

When using the 5" squares ...

I traced in the bottom corner so that 

after sewing and trimming I could 

use the leftover fabric 

for something else:)

Waste not want not!

I sewed on the two traced lines

 down both sides only...

and backstitched where I 

stopped and started on both ends.

I traced the top line even though

 I did not sew on it because 

I cut right on that line after trimming 

so that each bunting piece

 will be exactly the same size...

Just like this.

Again...

I cut right on the top traced line

 but trimmed about

 1/4" past the sewn lines.

I also cut the tip off just a bit:)

I turned each piece right side out 

and used the Clover turning tool

 to gently push out the point.

I pressed it flat...

And trimmed the little triangles

 off on each corner....

Like this.

Now it's ready to sew into the bias tape.

Unfold the bias tape with the short fold on top and place a bunting piece inside.

I left about an 8" tail on each end for tying.

Start sewing on the end of the bias tape...

backstitch when starting and stopping and when you get to each bunting piece...

Sew across the bias tape and the top of each piece at the same time like this.

I sew one piece at a time and then place the next one in and continue sewing. 

I do not find it necessary to pin but you could pin if you wanted:)

Here is what the other side looks like.

I sewed 38 bunting pieces because

 that's how many fit on one 4 yard package of bias tape

 with an approximate 8" tail on each end:)

I love how it turned out and after finishing one 4 yard length ...

I immediately cut more 4" squares to make more!

It's super easy and addicting...

Bunting can be hung anywhere and it

 always makes a fun and festive addition to any decor.

I love it!

It even looks cute on my aqua piano:)

I hope you have fun making your own Cozy Christmas Bunting!

 Add it to your holiday decor and make your home cozy:)

Next time I'll show you something else

 that I made using B-14 Sew Simple Shape 

so stay tuned!
