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).

I think my heart dropped when I saw the label and to be honest, I was hoping it was from the 20s and was excited to find out more about it's history. On the other hand, it's good that she had it for nearly 10 years. i think it's too good to throw away.
ReplyDelete'...my heart dropped when I saw the label' That's exactly how I felt when I saw the label too. I am now very undecided as to what to do with it. I already have several of my own clutches that don't really get used, I'm thinking it might be better off being donated. But it's so pretty!
