The World of Cross Stitching

Flower power

Clear your stitching schedule – you won’t be able to resist making these fabulous floral bunting flags before your first outdoor event of the year! Resplendent with colour from the decorative ribbons, pretty lace trim and colourful aida fabrics, these designs are sure to be the talk of the party.

Beginners will love these whole-stitch-only patterns, and more experienced stitchersgo. The colourful DMC fabric we’ve used is a little stiffer than other fabric, which helps the flags to hold their shape with just iron-on interfacing attached to the back. Stitch as many repeats of these lovely floral designs as needed, then hang outdoors and watch them flutter in the gentle summer breeze.
