Vintage tea party bunting

Tutor: Gemma, craft workshop tutor 

No vintage tea party is complete without bunting. Bunting is an easy way to transform a room or outdoor space for a celebration and it’s easy to make yourself. Workshop tutor Gemma shows us how to make two different types of bunting – traditional sewn bunting using cotton fabric and a sewing machine, and ‘no sew’ bunting using colourful felt.
