Bee bunting

I do seem to have a knack of accepting challenges at the moment.

This one was to promote the apiary open day more than we have done previously.  It always surprises me that people don't realise there is an apiary in the village, and even those that know there is one there somewhere sometimes struggle to find it.

So it seems to me we need some signs to point the way.  What could be better than some strings of bunting?

Particularly when I found some superb bee fabric to make them from....


It couldn't be simpler.....Simply slice into triangles...

 

Sew the triangles together right sides together , turn them right side out and press....


Try not to freak out that the pile is half as high as the iron....


Keep on pressing....

 

Trim the top edge....



Then sew them to the bunting tape......


Keep on sewing ....keep on sewing......keep on sewing....... keep on sewing....


Keep on sewing....till the pile on the floor by your feet....keep on sewing....keep on sewing...


is finally smaller.....keep on sewing ....keep on sewing.... keep on sewing.... keep on sewing...


than the pile stretching away in front of the sewing machine.....keep on sewing....keep on sewing...


Now all I need is a tall person to help me put them up!
Luckily I did!
Don't they look pretty?


All the way up the path...


Right into the apiary...
