Bunting Shirt Tutorial




I Love Fall! It's my favorite time of year. I love the colors ,the weather, and the decor. So in celebrating Fall I decided to make Lady a bunting shirt and I'm sharing my tutorial with all of you! Yay!!!!









What you need
* Shirt- I bought mine at Childrens Place on sale for $4.00
*Scissors
*Sewing Machine
*Paint
* 3 or 4 different types of fabric for bunting


Let's get started.

1. Cut your different fabrics into small triangles. I didn't measure mine so I'm not sure on the size I just eye balled it. Then place your triangles on your shirt where you want them.

2. Sew along the top of your triangles just like you would do bunting.

3. I took paint and painted on my "string" for the bunting. Another idea I had after the fact ....of course.. was to use twin instead of paint. O well.


That's it we are done! That wasn't bad at all huh!? I hope you enjoy your's as much as I do mine!

O and can I just add that I LOVE finally having a camera instead of an iphone!!! Makes such a difference!

Pant's made by me
Hairband Is SimplyBettie coming soon to etsy!
