Welcome to our bias tape special!
Bias tape – we love it! The Spruce Crafts blog defines it as “Bias-cut strips of fabric are used to cover raw edges of fabric or to make piping for pillows and many other sewing projects.”
Ashley on her wonderful Make it and love it blog is a real fan!
“Bias Tape is a wonderful thing. In fact, it’s something that I have used from the very beginning of my sewing adventure…and is not something to be feared. In fact, once you understand the stuff, you will LOVE it!”
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves! So we decided it’s about time to put together some of our favourite bias tape tutorials, tips and how-tos, so that you can get to love it too! Enjoy!
