If your sewing project calls for bias binding, you CAN buy it ready-made – but it’s useful to know how to make your own so you can choose the width, colour, and print 🌸
Making bias binding is a great way to use up fabric scraps too! ✂️
Swipe through to find out how to make it – with or without a bias binding tool 👉
If you are using a tool, make sure you get the right size. E.g. a 12mm (1/2in) maker creates 12mm (1/2in) single fold bias binding, or 6mm (1/4in) double fold bias binding.
Once you know how to make it, you can use it to finish necklines and armholes on projects such as the Leah top + dress, where a facing would be too bulky, or to add a fancy detail to the loose edges of facings, such as on the Sonny jacket and Noa pinafore. Search ‘bias binding’ at tillyandthebuttons.com for full tutorials on both uses 🧵
