It’s a pleasure – good luck! 🙂

Thanks so much Clare, really appreciate your help. Will send photos! 😉

Yes, I’ve got these ones which are made by Fiskars: http://www.johnlewis.com/fiskars-pinking-shears/p231716493 They are quite pricy but worth every penny – super sharp and accurate, which is what you need! I’ve just heard back from Helen and she says that you can use any fabric as long as they’re the same weight so they hang well and hang the same. You can sew the triangles onto bias binding which is quick to do. The best way to make the template is on a sheet of A4 paper – find the middle point of one of the shortest sides and then draw up to the top corners. Hope all of this helps! 🙂

would you recommend any particular make of pinking shears?

Hello Mary! That sounds so exciting – I’m sure you’ll do a brilliant job! I think I would stick to cottons/cotton duck, or basically anything that doesn’t fray when you cut out the pattern (it would be worth investing in a really good pair of pinking shears). We do have some family bunting which everyone contributed some material to – I gave an old pair of cotton pyjama bottoms and they look great! I’ve asked Tom’s Mum whether she can remember which other fabrics were used, so I’ll let you know. Hope that’s ok! And good luck – would love to see some photos of your progress!

Clare 🙂

Haha! Why, thank you! 😉

No problem! Would love to see some photos when you’ve made some 🙂
