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).

 Welcome to BFF HOPPY EASTER Blog Hop and Linky!

The Bloggy Friends Fun gang are bringing you another awesome Holiday Blog Hop where each of us share some fabulous fun stuff to try at home. We had so much fun at the I heart Valentines day hop we've decided we'll be doing more of them.

This month we get to hop from blog to blog finding all the Easter eggs and crafts just like the Easter Bunny! We hope you enjoy the hunt!

To add your project to the link-up simply scroll down and you will find the 'add your link' button.

Here's 3 eggs to get you started on filling your basket.

These crochet eggs are great scraps of yarn projects. Some of you may recognise the yarn from the Backloop Chevron Throw I made last year, this yarn seems destined to make back loop crochet projects.

That's right, all three of these little eggs are back loop crochet patterns. To go to the crochet pattern just click the egg!

    Very cute! In Scandinavia Easter is all yellow. Do you use yellow for Easter?

      I've never noticed a traditional colour palette for Easter here. Rainbow colours with lots of red and yellow is the closest description I guess :o) Green is also common with blues, oranges, pinks all making an appearance.

      I tried hunting for some patterns and it seemed most of them were 3D - I wanted flat eggs and this happened :o) Gotta put them on a beanie I think.
