buntband

Buntband is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in the context of textiles and crafting. One common meaning is a decorative band of fabric, often made of ribbon or a contrasting material, that is sewn onto the edge of a garment or textile item for ornamentation or to reinforce the edge. This can be applied to clothing like dresses, skirts, or blouses, as well as home furnishings such as curtains or cushions. The buntband may be plain, patterned, or embellished with embroidery or other decorative elements.

Another interpretation of buntband relates to a specific type of sewing or embroidery technique. In this context, it describes a method of creating a decorative border or trim by folding and stitching a fabric edge in a particular way. This can result in a raised or textured effect.

The term can also occasionally be used informally to describe any narrow strip of material used for binding or decorating. The specific application and material will determine the exact appearance and function of a buntband.
