Guestpost: How to make your own bias tape
Somehow in between pattern release and all other things life throws at us I completely missed posting this guest post. I am really sorry. Verinne from Boevenbende did a great job on creating a tutorial for you. She shows you how to make your own bias tape. Did you know it was this easy?! Quickly read and try it yourself.
Hi it’s Mrs Boevenbende here. I’ve done different crafts as long as I can remember, mostly in the area of fibre arts. When my kids kept growing taller and not wider, thus hardly fitting store-bought clothes anymore, my focus slowly shifted towards sewing children’s clothes. We like clothes to be unique and colourful, but most of all they have to be suitable for play. You can read about my sewing and other creative adventures with the gang of rascals at Boevenbende.
Cut along the diagonal fold.
Turn your fabric until the diagonal side is on top, like shown on the picture above.
Then fold your fabric, putting the other diagonal end of your fabric on top of the first one.
Another fold from left to right…
To attach the fabric strips into one long strip, lay them on top of eachother in a 90 degree angle like shown above. It is important to let the fabric stick out a bit on both sides and to sew exactly on the dotted line connecting both intersections.
Sewn wrong, your fabric strips won’t line up nicely!
Thank you Verinne
