curtain tie backs

I had a spare pair of tie backs from our living room so in up cycling fashion, wanted to use them for my daughters room. Now her room is quite colourful and these are plain white bog standard ones so into the scrap box I go!

I got her to choose whatever fabric she wanted on them and decided to do a bunting design on them. As they were cotton fabrics instead of hemming or backing them I used pinking shears to make them look funky. I also got my daughter to help sew a running stitch to hold them until I got to my sewing machine.

I sewed a simple straight stitch along the top of the triangles and then pressed them.
