Time I started to panic. I had an urge to make some Christmas bunting, not because I like it more than anything else but as a way to take some shortcuts with decorations both for myself and others.
I found lots of sites online encouraging detailed embroidery, using doileys, and using up scraps. So I decided to experiment with some ideas. These are the three options so far using just random scraps. There is also an idea to attach some of my decorations.
The first decision was the size - I just guessed at 10" high x 6.5" tops cut size.
The next decision was raw edge or turned inside out to hide the seams. Although the second idea appealed more it was really fiddly trying to turn through the point so I've abandoned that idea and gone for raw edge.
I guess after lunch and a webinar on biology I'll get on and do some real Christmassy ones with red, green, gold, silver, yellow fabrics and features.

The bunting will be fun. I’ve made a couple of sets using pre printed fabric from Spotty. I did put the seam in the inside. They are nice to hang each year.
I made some too and like you decided I didn't like the turned out version, far too fiddly. I settled on raw edge, but pulled out the pinking shears.
Now here is a really easy way to do seamed bunting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPjHJhXo9D8
