DIY Wedding: How to make rag bunting Lizzie B 2019-10-06 | We had an almost entirely DIY Wedding and we made rag bunting to decorate areas of our wedding venue. We used it along one entire wall of our venue, which was the wall with windows all along it an it's looked really nice draped along the tops of the windows. We also used it on the outside of our venue above the terrace area. Photography: camillaandrea.comMaterials:1) Rope - we used 50m of jute rope for £10 from amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/2MmZoma2) Fabric - 5 colours, 2 metres of each colour, £1 per metre from a shop on Ridley Road near Dalston Kingsland in London. 3) Scissors - fabric scissors ideally but any will doSteps: 1) Cut or rip strips of fabric 5cm x 65cm.2) Tie the strips to the rope at 10cm intervals, leaving space at the end of the rope for tying it up in your venue.

My Sewing Space & Fabric Stash Lizzie B 2019-09-29 | I live in a one bedroom flat in London so space comes at a premium. I don't have a dedicated sewing space but think i've got a pretty good sewing set up and system for storing all of my tools, fabric and patterns. Have a watch and I hope it inspires some of you who also don't have your own sewing rooms. I also give you a whistle stop tour of my fabric stash!Links to most of my favourite sewing tools on my amazon shop front:amazon.co.uk/shop/lizzieb?listId=3OOWDOU4WE4VG&ref=idea_share_infMore of me:Instagram: @lizzie_.bBlog: www.lizziebblog.comMy amazon store front: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/lizzieb
