Get the Doorway Puppet Theatre Pattern
First of all, if you are looking for the pattern for the Doorway Puppet Theatre, you can get it in one of two ways.
The project was originally designed for Love Sewing Magazine and appeared in Issue 11. You might have an old copy or you could try to get a copy on backorder.
The other option is to buy a copy of the pdf pattern from this website. With a pdf pattern I have been able to go into a lot more detail and there are loads more step by step instructions.

Let's make some Mini Bunting for your Doorway Puppet Theatre
When my girls where little they love playing with this Doorway Puppet Theatre so much. They had many many hours of fun and came up with all sorts of performances. At several points it also became a shop and a serving hatch for food!
I thought it would be fun to have a little decoration for the theatre so I have written a tutorial for making some quick and easy bunting to hang from the top rung of the Doorway Puppet Theatre. It will certainly be perfect for adding a little colour to a performance!
Materials & Equipment Required
:: Several pieces of cotton in a variety of colours (or all one colour if you are feeling lazy prefer)
:: 1m cord
:: Marking pen/chalk
:: Scissors
:: Sewing Machine
:: Thread to match fabrics selected
:: Pinking shears
How to Make
:: Download the Flag Template, print off and cut out.
:: Trace Flag Template onto fabric(s) and cut out. I’ve made 5 flags, but you could make more if you prefer. There’s room for 8 flags if you place them right next to each other.
:: Fold each flag in half with wrong sides together and sew with 1/4″ seam allowance on the two long edges and 3/8″ from the folded edge, as per the diagram below.
:: Trim the two long edges with pinking shears.
:: Thread the flags onto the cord.
:: Make a loop at either end of the cord. If your cord frays dab a bit of fabric glue on the ends or melt them (but only if you can be trusted to be sensible with a match!).
:: You are now ready to hang your bunting onto the tension pole of your Doorway Puppet Theatre.
As usual, let me know if you’ve made a Doorway Puppet Theatre and some Bunting. I love to see your makes…it really does make my day!
