I do so love a spot of alliteration on a Friday afternoon, don't you? This morning I made birthday bunting for my baby boy's first birthday, which is coming up in a few months.
And the theme of my Bunny's First Birthday Party?
That's right - beloved Peter Rabbit! It's a perfect theme for a little boy's first birthday party, because the colour scheme for the party is baby blue and white. There is so much scope for fun with a Peter Rabbit theme - lettuce green macarons, chocolate carrots, a watering can hiding a toy Peter Rabbit for the little ones to find...
Back to the bunting.
I made my own binding tape from a soft lettuce green striped fabric, but then I decided to top-stitch a layer of lace to the binding tape. I think the lace gives the bunting a sweet, soft, vintage feel. I am very lucky I got a whole reel of cotton lace from Joann's online at 40% off just recently. It's a good thing I bought a reel, because I needed just over 2 metres for this project.
I am working on the birthday party invitations, too. Here's a hint - they are orange and green and I need to post them out in parcels, not envelopes. Can you guess? Stay tuned - I will pop up a photo of them when they are finished.
Happy Friday, and happy sewing!
