How To Make Continuous Bias Binding From A Rectangle

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).

Remembrance Day 2015



Rosemary has been used to signify remembrance at least as far back as the 16th Century. 


 For Australians Rosemary is of particular significance as it is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula.

 Jackie Huggins gave the address for the 2015 Remembrance Day ceremonies held at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Ms Huggins is the first Indigenous person in 97 years to be honoured with the task at the national ceremony.  
"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans were often denied the honour and rights given to other veterans, such as soldier settlement land grants,..." Ms Huggins said. Get the full story.

      You're very welcome. We have ANZAC Day as well. ANZAC = Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and I think Remembrance Day used to be called Armistice Day..
