Remember Emily’s awesome post last week about planning a baby shower?  Well I was asked to make a bunting for that shower.  Buntings are very easy to make and you can whip one up in just a couple minutes.

The reversible animal print / rubber ducky bunting

Well, the time frame is closer to an hour, but it is still a quick project.  I created one triangle as a guide, and then cut out 9 triangles in each of 4 fabrics.  Then I cut 3-inch strips of a solid color to create my hem tape / binding.  Once you have everything cut out, stack the triangles with wrong sides together and sew along the 2 long edges, making sure to leave enough room to cut with your pinking shears.

Sewing along the homemade hem tape

Then I spaced the triangles along the hem tape and sewed it together.  I folded the end in so that that it was clean and sharp looking.  I really hope this project made sense.  It is late at night and I just got back from a long trip (trust me, another post is coming about that), so it may not make sense.

A onesie with a tiny bunting to match

I made the bunting reversible with rubber ducky fabric on one side, because the shower was rubber ducky themed, and with jungle fabric on the other side.  I was able to make things for the rest of the nursery with the jungle themed fabric, seeing as their nursery theme is jungle.

The whole gift

I loved making the bunting for Sarah — and creating a bunch of other things to match!  Sarah loved the gift, and that is what matters.  You can make the fleece blanket in the same way as the initial onesie.  What do you think?  Do you have any showers to attend soon?  Have you ever made a bunting?
