How much fabric is needed for every metre of bunting to be made?
Number of flags – 10 flags makes about for 1 metre wide on the wall, this includes about a 10cm drop of the garland.
Bias Binding – You will need 1 metre 20 cm of bias binding, this covers the extra needed for the drop of the bunting too, and hanging loops folding the ends over.
Fabric – 10 flags will need 20 fabric triangles to be cut. Fabric that is 150cm wide x 20 cm long will be enough for 20 triangles that when stitched together will make 10 flags. (If the fabric has a strong vertical pattern, such as Liberty Strawberry Thief, half of the triangles will have prints that are upside down.) Cut the pieces close together to waste as little fabric as possible.
