Making Bias Tape

{How to Make Bias Tape}

I started sewing about a year ago and I haven’t done enough of it really. This week I bought fabric to make a little project and to my dismay there was no bias tape that matched it so I decided to make my own!

This was definitely a first for me! It was really rough at first but I had to make it out of two different fabrics and by the time I got to the second one it felt a little bit easier.

I followed the directions on this website and I thought they were great!

Can you believe it? I made that beautiful bias tape right there! You can too, try it and let me know how it goes!

I bought a book at Hobby Lobby last week, all about making cute as pie skirts but haven't started anything. I was overwhelmed by the first chapter...

Ugh.

Nice to meet you though, stopped by from Eisy Morgan.

Serendipitous, yes?

Thanks also for stopping by and leaving a comment about Maude, she's a sweetie! Have a great week, and hope to see you again soon. Sandi
