how to make bunting tutorial


I need to get my finger out and make my little business (or should I say hobby) work so that I can buy even more fabric and make even more things. I actually love the process of getting an idea, designing it, working out how to make it. By the time I've got an 'end product' I've often moved on to the next project.


Recently I worked with a friend, Emilie to create a 'how to make bunting tutorial'. We had a great evening making bunting and drinking wine and it inspired me to get started on my shop so hopefully I'll have it full of goodies soon. In the meantime check out the tutorial she wrote on her blog http://babyccinoblog.com/

bebebunting is 2!!




I can't believe bebebunting has been around for 2 whole years! It all began when I was looking for a special banner to celebrate my daughter's first birthday. I couldn't find anything that wasn't plastic or linked to cartoon characters. I wanted something different, something that could be dragged out every birthday and which would hold memories of birthdays past.


I was also looking for a wooden name plate for Poppy's bedroom door and struggling to find one where I didn't have the same 3 letters!!


I created a happy birthday banner and added my daughters name. A good friend, Nicki saw them, asked me to make one for her daughter and persuaded me to start making them to sell. She came up with the name and really made me believe that others would buy my handiwork!


Now I'm just about to launch an etsy shop. Everything seems to take longer these days but I'm hoping its worth the wait!

New look bebebunting



Hurray!! We are live and kicking!


After 6 wks of computer and internet problems we are finally rocking and rolling! Today is my birthday and to celebrate I'm launching the 'new look' bebebunting brand here and in the shop, followed by an upgrading of the website in the next couple of weeks!
Over the next couple of days I'll be telling you about how it all began, where its going (I hope) and I'll be littering the place with creations from my crafting and sewing. I'm new to blogging myself but an old hand at reading others' (mostly lurking) so 'here we go, here we go, here we go'!!!!
