Snow day
J. and I are heading out to a rare movie night. So you get photos that TM took over the past couple of days.
Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again. I love bias tape. It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ... And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well. Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker. This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post. But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you. Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1: Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias. The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2: Using a ruler and some sort of mark
