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).

Is the top one of the bird pooping? If so, I hope you weren't stood underneath it! The second shot is amazing. I love the positioning and how much sky you have left. #MySundayPhoto.
ReplyDeleteHahaha - yes, naughty bird! But a rare enough shot I had to share. Sorry if you were eating lunch or something. 0_o Glad you like the second shot. I think the term for that composition is rule of thirds.
DeleteThat's incredible! I'm so glad you decided it was appropriate to post.
ReplyDeleteI nearly didn't! Hubby assured me it was quite acceptable for photography circles.
DeleteAmazing photo, I thought is was a piece of sting attached at first not nature taking its course!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite artistic considering. I was not prepared to be getting aimed at. He missed me though *phew*
DeleteWhat a great shot! Not something you'd be able to catch everyday!
ReplyDeleteComplete luck! I was chasing him across the sky with my camera.
DeleteWOW fantastic photos! Lucky you weren't standing undermneath! x #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI was a bit worried for a second. It wouldn't have done the camera any good. Lucky for me his aim was off.
DeleteFab shots. Yes I was swallowing my dinner so it put me off a bit:). Really great snaps tho:)
ReplyDeleteOh Sherry, I'm so sorry! That's almost a crime with your wonderful food.
DeleteI never knew you had to plug birds in to charge them up
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Micro usb via solar power ;0)
DeleteI couldn't tell if it was pooping, or had string attached! That is an amazing capture, I do love unusual pictures like this x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the artisticness of the poop is appreciated by some at least =D
DeleteBrilliant shots! Wow. Bright and clear ... I don't think I've seen the picture of a bird doing a poop before ... really good shot. #aNoviceMumCommentLuv
ReplyDeleteThere's a few out there (I had to google) but they aren't common.
DeleteHaha great shot :) Also stunning bird I love egrets, just waiting for cattle egrets to become established in the UK :)
ReplyDeleteWe get a few different types of egrets here so we had to look pretty closely to figure out which type it was. The cattle egrets have some pretty colours going on. What a treat!
DeleteBrilliant shots - even the first one! It almost looks like string trailing behind.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate!
DeleteWhat a fantastic photo! Great timing x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim ;0)
DeleteLovely, great timing. :)
ReplyDeleteA heartbeat later would have been too late!
DeleteI was a victim of this last Friday! It just fell from nowhere!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing capture!
It's supposed to be good luck!
DeleteI don't know much about photography, but this picture had to be a difficult shot. I love it! What kind of shutter speed would you use for this?
ReplyDeleteHi R.C. The shutter speed is the number on the right under the photos. 1/2000 or two thousandths of a second.
DeleteWhatever she'd been eating certainly had a purgative effect!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
Thanks for posting & hope you'll be a regular visitor at Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday) - this week's linkup can be found at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/04/at-keyboard.html
I really don't want to think about her diet. o_0
DeleteWhat a great shot! I love that nature isn't always pristine - there are warts and accidents and poo!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us again this week!
Too much poo if you ask me! (2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds and a fish will leave you feeling like a professional poo manager)
DeleteI laughed hard when I realized what was going on on the first picture (and the comments are so funny too ;0). At first, I thought the bird what caught in some sort of wire.
ReplyDeleteNow I really am glad I posted this shot. Making someone laugh each day is on my bucket list! =D
DeleteThat is a bloody brilliant image!!! Perfectly shot and it made me chuckle
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
Hahaha =D thanks!
