As per previous posts I have had to take my badges off my camp blanket as I bought a new one. I had a sash when I was in guides many years ago of which my guide badges are fixed on to. I didn't have one when I was in brownies as my uniform was a brown dress and the badges were sewed to the sleeve.
I tried to buy a brownie sash off ebay but the prices of them were not cheap, even for used ones. So I asked on the local selling pages, 1 lady said she had 1 I could have but she lives over 45mins drive from me so too far to go and we were not able to meet up as not available at the same time. So this left me 1 option - to make a sash that I could sew my brownie badges onto.
When I went to £1 shop today I bought a beige under bed storage bag. It had a dark brown trim round the edges. When I got home I cut out the strip that ran round the bag making the depth of the storage bag and cut off the zip. It was double the width of what I needed so I stitched it in half and made it slightly shorter as well. From here I have pinned all my badges onto it ready to be sewed (or pinned with safety pins if I don't get them all finished in time). This will be sewed to my new blanket as I think the guide ones look really nice on it.
