#bias binding

[cottonkhaleesi]

I bought some supplies to finish this and ended up with four colours of bias because I couldn’t choose (also it’s nice to have some for the next project and the zips were on clearance)

Went with the sparkly in the end.

Welp, that's the bias binding been made. The fabric was $20 a yard, but I only used half of it, so comes up to around $25 when you factor in time to make it being an hour at $15 an hour. But of course no one's paying me to make my own clothes. But it really puts into perspective how much clothing probably should be costing if we gave people a decent wage.

i miss being 14 and sat in my little sunlit english classroom in the middle of the woods right next to a 13th century stately home, the last lesson of the day, sleepy after lunch and listening to my teacher recite these two specific poems in her very soft and eloquent voice. knowing that i'd be walking home through the woods with my headphones in afterwards, watching the leaves fall.

Bought a booksleeve at barnes and nobles this weekend for my freewrite- they only had lile two designs and the size was BARELY enough to fit it so I had to fight with the zipper to get it in. Got into the parking lot and thought "I could've probably just made one" and decided that would be the incentive to finally put my sewing machine to use in 2024

Hello there!

My answer is going to sound obvious, but single fold bias tape is for areas where you don't want or need a fold in the middle of the bias tape. (I know.)

Something I use it for a LOT is edge finishing where I don't want visible tape. Double fold is good if you are binding the edge, so that there is bias tape on both sides of the garment with a fold in the middle, but if you want to use bias tape basically as a facing, you would need single fold. Sew right side to right side, with one edge of the tape unfolded and lined up with the raw edge of your fabric, and sew in the fold. Clip curves as needed, and then fold the tape around to the backside of the fabric, folding the fabric seam allowance with it so you don't see the tape. Press for a crispy edge, and then either topstitch or hand blindstitch the tape to the garment.

Since I'm at work and can't take demo photos right now, here's a tutorial that looks decent.

This is a really useful method for hemming circle skirts btw. Creates a nice, smooth finish, and the stretch the bias prevents those pesky lumps and wrinkles. (Also good for necklines that aren't lined or faced and don't have a collar attached, edge of pockets, etc.)

It's also useful for decorative finishes where you aren't binding an edge (say, to create decorative lines on a collar or something where you can't or don't want to use soutache/middy braid/some other trim), or for creating channels for things like drawstrings.

I know you're mostly shitposting, but you asked a question, so I figured I'd answer haha

Hope that helps! :]

Fuck you

* double folds your single fold bias tape.

Can someone please tell me why single fold bias tape exists what’s its purpose what do you use it for.

Which sewing pattern exec in the 60s got cucked by big bias binding and decided in retaliation that every single edge needed to be finished with a facing? I'm genuinely not sure there's an armhole or neckline that wouldn't look and feel better with a bias bind than a facing, but every. single. pattern makes me cut out a stupid facing piece and hand tack it down so it isn't just flapping about awkwardly. Guess what I wouldn't have to do that for? That's right, bias binding, the s-tier finishing method that apparently big pattern doesn't want you to know about.

going to the barbie movie tonight so i of course had to make a bag to bring. this is the first time i ever have done applique and first time making a quilted bag so it came with some challenges. considering the time crunch i was on, i think i did pretty well!

i used this free pattern from redquilt!

Look at my beautiful bias tape binding 👀

[alexsrandomramblings]

The more I make bias binding, the more I realize it's really not as difficult as I've always hyped it up to be in my head.

Tee or beautiful blouse that you love, keep as bias binding for future use. Wind onto a card & write washing instructions onto the card. Or staple the fabric care label to the card if you are an absolute utter completist i dunno go away i lovecthis staggered tube idea. Sharp scissors for fabric excellence yay!

Don't think I ever showed her off - my first cosplay (and bigger sewing project in general) since... 2018 or 2019, I honestly don't remember. Still need to make some changes and fix some things up, but she's wearable!
