Baby Teddy Bunting

As I felt that I was on a role with this crochet I decided to make the same mother to be some baby bunting, but making 3d teddies.

I followed my first pattern, easier than I thought.

Baby Bunting

Last week I had bunting coming out of my ears, I made 5 different lots as two friends are having babies, and I wanted some for my craft room, plus 2 for me. Again most of my ideas came from pinterest.

The idea behind this was that it used material that i had used in other projects and I could appliqué her name on later. However I planned for 9 triangles but it was too large so had to chop it down to 7. In-between each triangle is a stuffed felt heart.

This fabric was brought when i wasn't even looking for it and was for a friend who is expecting a boy, however i had already chosen the material for hers and was hoping that this would fit, it didn't so i made my own.

My last bunting was left over felt hearts i had from the bunting for the craft room, if I included the hearts it would have been to long, so I decided to use it in the baby room. I did buy to ric rac but ended up crocheting a chain.

My Nephew in laws girl friend has just given birth to a baby girl called Poppy so I decided to be a little different in the usually baby gifts and make her some Bunting. It took about 4 hours but that's only as i tried really hard not to cock it up.

All the triangle are double sided with 3 different baby buttons at each top corner to finish it off.

This I found tricky, the letter were cut from felt and then stitched using my Singer 201, No problems other than going round the corner, so there are a few cock up, but other than that not a bad job for my first attempt.

After I finished I put it on my wall to see how it looked with just the bias binding, it looked awful, unfinished and just not very proffessional. So I decided to make a bow, and the fact the one side is longer than the other was accidental, I just cut and sewed the material and when constructing the bow to see how much to cut off one bit was longer than the other, but it looked better and I think finishes it off.
