In order to download your lady bunting template, use the link above and make sure you print it out A4 size to ensure you have the correct sized template.

For this International Women’s Day on Thursday 8th March, the University’s Oxfam Society has created a Craftivism project dubbed ‘Lady Bunting’. To be used as a backdrop for all the events that will be taking place on the day; the idea is to create a giant length of bunting made from little fabric ladies individually made then collectively joined together, to be hung around the university on the day in support of women everywhere!

Here we have provided a template for the sections and you can make your fabric lady as simple or intricate as you wish, but please attach your name to it somehow to show your support. You can use any fabric you have lying around, old clothes, anything

Workshops are taking place at the Union – Thursday 23rd, Room 3, 4-5pm and Thursday 1st March, Room 7, 4-6pm. Materials will be provided but donations of money to cover costs and also any unused fabric or old clothes would be very welcome!

If you cannot make the workshops or would prefer to make one at home, or want to hold your own crafty session with friends, there will be a drop off box in the Union’s Activities office where you can hand them in to be attached to the final piece.

If you have any suggestions or ideas about how to make this a success please get in touch with Jemma at [email protected].

Search Lady Bunting Craft Project on Facebook and join the group to see progress and updates on how it’s coming along – we look forward to receiving your ladies and seeing you at a workshop!
