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 an unusual looking plant, I love the bold colour
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
It's one of our favourites, we've planted one of these trees in our front yard. I can't wait until it grows up.
DeleteSo pretty and delicate and the most amazing rich colour
ReplyDeleteThey are quite delicate aren't they? I guess that's what inspired their name.
DeleteWhat fantastic photo's, love the bird sipping at the nectar #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThat's a wattle bird. They are quite the bully.
DeleteWhat amazing flowers. I was so struck by them I almost didn't notice the lovely bird! Fab #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are one of Australia's prettiest that's for sure.
DeleteBeautiful shots Stella, the colours are just gorgeous. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of silver princess too - there is a yellow version but it's less striking
DeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous flowers! They are so pretty!
You should see a whole tree covered in them. It's amazing.
DeleteSo: interesting, attractive, different (I love different). Great photos, you even shot the bird! And what a beautiful name. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's fairly commonplace in these parts, but it's still amazing to see in full bloom.
DeleteSuch a beautiful flower Stella. I recently found one that looked like that but had golden tips and it was cylindrical. Nature never ceases to amaze with its variety!
ReplyDeleteDid you take a photo? I would love to see.
DeleteStella, you take the most amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteI love these, especially the bright pinks of the flowers.
If you hadn't put the bird by itself pic in there, I'd never have seen him in the others! lol
He's well camouflaged isn't he? I was hoping to get a clearer shot of him - next time.
DeleteThose are pretty shots! Love the details =) #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to take the camera out again and get some more flower photos.
DeleteThese are gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen flowers like this before. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey are unique to Australia. I must see if I can capture the beauty of the entire tree to share with you all.
DeleteWonderful photos Stella. I love the bird and the flowering gum. Such gorgeous blossoms. What is that bird? An eastern spinebill?
ReplyDeleteIt's a western wattle bird. They are big bully's.
