SS - do you want the bunting in any fabric as long as it's red or yellow? Or nylon/ripstop specifically?

I think to buy new fabric would be to defeat the object of reducing waste HB so ideally similar fabric if you have it but otherwise whatever you can repurpose in the right colours but I’m also wary of how heavy it might be to carry on the tube.

SS I have some red ripstop fabric that I bought from the shop at the bus station thinking I'd make stuff sacks - then discovered it wasn't waterproof. Can't remember how much there is but you are welcome to it for bunting.
