Cut the bunting squares using pinking shears, then pair them up. You could use a plain fabric on the back if your bunting is going against a wall, I did ours double sided as it is going in the window. Pin the pairs with wrong sides together on three sides leaving top edge open</div>

How to make and attach a hanging sleeve to a quilt or wall hanging:</h4>
I shall be making the sleeve for a small wall hanging as a worked example, so all the numbers will relate to that, yours will of course be different. <br />
Measure the top of your quilt: 13.75" <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK4dAriQDot2g14fuCns3vQ5cEbCrSajhfsA7MFSX9bWbN8mlwYreoZNcvoQNonYSJP6I4OjdEu57jKAQhpSM_vwUKGaq_V9vcpilTHFfAhtiUNS8Fx_SJX_DLfBj75DHLeYi4KnCKTVg/s1600-h/IMG_1246a%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1246a" border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikB3mheYPOx_-xNjQGWuBI1zII405K91gxYT6s6JU-YMLUoe0u4811Od5gAcEA9TAyJs9AZvW2DyIbJT5-jqSeeKb-REds2JfHP2iYq1Ku2tgQ5GXwu5-AQps5BhnTuzYNkWIK1cCOmkw//?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1246a" width="244" /></a> <br />
Take 1.5" off this measurement: 13.75 - 1.5 = 12.25 <br />
Cut your sleeve fabric 9" by this measurement: 9" x 12.25" <br />
Zig-zag or overlock the two 9” edges, then press 0.5" to wrong side. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4eCLz2U6mPeVo5W0LeEuIwOFYzuoByW-KWizZ33VqgH4xADqWF7zx09vOGT4TxwL81_BBz0aaecTKmcbh9irPzzcnTqHnV8zZkIN6IUyZpmnWfTc_pumHtN6CHE_SsB8E5il2GhZNw8/s1600-h/IMG_1251a%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1251a" border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG_mhUvAaBMn702hgMSKoZxk6_7LVLm8D6BCEEEwnqgeFBvRjeCD_-SoED2guFe8MjpqPIRsd6X_3xXF1kcZoyX3h03M0JbXpPi89h6VSttM0eVbRTprpjko0hGJ9loD7AdRA7B-bQshk//?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1251a" width="244" /></a> <br />

With the pressed seam facing down on to the back of the quilt centre one fold of the sleeve below the binding at the top of the quilt.

Smooth the sleeve and pin the second fold to the quilt, you should now have a D shaped sleeve pinned to your quilt.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj84Qe-9k7OQqs30RmINZRWqMSDTwiKqnU4FbH9lR80KMqVyu81np0wRBcT5f8MduwRd6ED5KOTFxE6Hl5P2pVw8kbfB6oUxR8wejfU_BLJQa3ltudMuKRro-7Il8oNIz0RVju3BLYIHrc/s1600-h/IMG_1275a%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1275a" border="0" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdB7N6EdtwfFI6NIwOeJyDGXiQPNy3RBgUcBZUmN8t5hyEUZRngeSQl6TrBQb20WEPpUjFVYaONxcwUEmNUa-zv_U4vkhGr5v7f_DhyphenhyphenbEM-gGHmhBBIV9FifFpfqrF7AE5j2c18gDKoU//?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1275a" width="244" /></a> <br />
Slip stitch sleeve to quilt through backing only, take care that your stitches do not show on the front of the quilt. Stitch the sleeve sides too between the folds, this will prevent the hanging device going between the quilt and sleeve and possibly damaging the quilt. <br />
That's all there is to it, hang your quilt and enjoy.<br />
Happy Stitching <br />

7 Press one seam towards the stocking and one towards the lining. The easy way to do this is to put your stockings on the ironing board as shown below. Then lift the top layer and press the seam, which will be towards the lining on the top one and towards the stocking on the bottom one.<br />

8 Fold one piece of ribbon in half and pin (with the loop towards the inside) to the stocking back close to the seam. <i>Take care when sewing not to catch the folded ribbon in the stitching at the other side.</i> Sorry I have no picture of this step, in my enthusiasm I forgot to do it and its hard work sewing the ribbon on after you have made the stockings!<br />
<br />
9 With rs together pin stocking front & lining to stocking back and lining back & lining. <i>If you pressed one seam to the lining and one to the stocking they should lock nicely together where the front and back meet.</i><br />

10 Stitch, stitching the ribbon loop in place at the same time, leave an opening for turning in the lining between the heel and the top. <i>NB stitch along the line on the stocking, use a seam allowance of approximately 3/8" for the lining. The lining will 'sit' better in the stocking if it is slightly smaller.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
11 At this point you need to clip the curves, something which I find quite tedious. Instead I used pinking shears to trim all round except the opening.<br />

<br />
12 Turn right side out, gently push out the toe and heel -<i> if you have pinked around there is no need to poke these out with a knitting needle or similar, just the pressure of your finger will work. also if you use a needle there's a chance you will poke too far and create a hole. Ask me how I know! </i>There is no need to poke out the toe of the lining just push it through, but do make sure to keep it back when sewing the opening closed.<br />
<br />
13 Fold the raw edges to the inside of the opening pin and stitch, by hand or machine.<br />

The panel has 25 mini Christmas stockings, both fronts and backs. You can use them to make advent calendar bunting or decorations, or you could use them as appliques. The stockings measure approximately 3.5 inches from the top of the stocking to the heel and they are just so cute.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
So many people come in the shop and admire our soft
books, and want to know how we make them. Since Julie has added a couple of extra touches to the included instructions, we've written this tutorial to show you how we do it:<br />
<br />
For the tutorial we shall be using 'A Bazooples Day' by Vivki Schreiner.<br />

It was always our intention to use it to let everyone know what we were up to, post tutorials and generally keep you all informed... but along with all the excitement of opening the shop, not to mention the sheer hard work of running it, we have yet to get around to using it. Not that we complain (too often) about the hard work involved, we absolutely love running the shop, not to mention how exciting it is to meet all you wonderful quilters, knitters and crafters and seeing what you've made.<br />
So lets make a start with the blog....<br />
<br />
Here's a taste of our first tutorial which will be published soon<br />
