Finally have caught up, glad to kow that night shifts are good for something......

Now can anyone tell me where I can get enough material to make 150 ft of bunting, have tried freecycle with no success. Will give freecycle another go in the morning but I am now running out of time and it needs to be as cheap as possible. Is there anywhere that sells rags.

What would be ideal would be 2/3 tablecloths and 2/3 double quilt covers in blues. Does anyone know if charity shops sell of these sort of things to the rag man (if they even still exist) it doesn't need to be in great condition just good enough to cut out about 150 triangles..

Sorry for waffling getting very tired, have been sitting here all evening making lists for my dad's birthday party in a couple of weeks and my mother keeps sending me lists of more things she expects me to do!
I have reminded her gently and not so gently that I have 5 brothers and sisters who are all capable of doing their share and as the one who works shift work whose husband works shift work and 3 teenagers at home I probably have less spare time than all the rest..

I have already told her I will do the bunting and nothing else as that will take most of my spare time over the next 10 days...

So anyone, any ideas for the material??

You can use old clothing or bedding, that's what we did in our village recently, and your brothers and sisters can all turn out their wardrobes and linen cupboards. What area of the country are you, jagbeth?

Does it have to be material?
For my daughters birthday I used plastic carrier bags. We saved all sorts of colourful carrier bags, and if you cut carefully you can get quite a few out of each bag, (although you probably want to avoid any names) they also had the added advantage that they are waterproof so still looked quite good when it rained. I guess that you might not have enough for 150 ft but might be worth adding to what you do have to make the material stretch further.
Also like the idea suggested that your siblings donate some of their wardrobe, but give them a template for the bunting and get them to cut it so that you can save your self some work. You never know they might even like identifying their clothes in the bunting.
