There are several ways to go about cutting and sewing bias binding tape. They've all got their pro's and con's. I'm going to show you my favourite method, but first I'll discuss the strip-by-strip method and the continuous method using a square of fabric.
Whichever method you use you'll start with deciding how wide you want your finished binding to be and multiply that by four. For example if you want a 1/4 inch wide finish on your hem you want to cut 1 inch wide strips. (unless you want double fold bias binding in which case you multiply by six).

What a lovely photo. Very serene! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThanks Danny.
DeleteGreat shot, It always feels like finding a secret when you find a nest doesn't it? (or is that just me?)
ReplyDeleteIt's a spotted turtle dove nest from last year, we got to watch her raise 2 sets of babies. She came back this year but she was too early for the leaves to have grown back on our mulberry tree. So it was all empty when I took this shot.
DeleteWhat a great shot, I love finding birds nests hidden around the farm.
ReplyDeleteThey are such a joy aren't they?
DeleteLovely shot the colours are fab
ReplyDeleteThanks JJ
DeleteWhat a fantastic photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim :o)
DeleteCute! So nice to see nest. Great capture =) #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteThanks Pixiedusk I've been keeping my eye on it for ages so I could get a shot.
DeleteGreat shot, lovely to see it so hidden away.
ReplyDeleteShe chose a really lovely spot and it made it really easy for her chicks to get on a branch to learn to fly.
DeleteThat's cool. Now the leaves are falling here, there are old nests everywhere!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Autumn is still magical to me having grown up in the tropics where it's the dry or wet season. I never realised how all the leaves falling off would reveal the old nests until it happened in this tree. What a treat for you to get it every year.
DeleteThis is such great shot, wonderful to see the nest, but I also love the light shining through the leaves x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara, I was concerned it would be too bright. It's always great to get confirmation that it turned out ok ;o)
DeleteWhat a great spot
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
No, thank you. I will be linking up every week!
DeleteHow fabulous! Love how the nest is protected by the branches and the leaves. xx
ReplyDeleteShe did a good job of picking her nesting spot didn't she? :o)
Deletethis is a wonderful shot. i love the architectural look of the branches and the nest. and the green leaves look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder at her scaffolding choice when she had so many big strong branches to choose from.
