Tutorial on Bias Tape And Binding Raw Edges

Making bias tape was always kind of a sore spot for me because I didn't want to mess with those thin strips of fabric and then trying to sew them on so they would look good from the outside AND the inside. It took me a while to figure this out and before I will get around to make a tutorial from it I wanted to share this great tutorial from CRAFT GOSSIP.COM that I found browsing for some ideas.



Bias taping is a great way to finish edges and give your project a nice and interesting appeal. Especially with clothing bias taping adds some pizazz and lets the garment shine with being overpowered by loads of ruffles. Sometimes less is more:)



Let me know what experience you had making and sewing bias tape:)
