New skill. Continuous bias tape

My sewjo is cooperating … well it’s to do with a 2 year old who stopped napping and doesn’t want to sleep at night either. I guess it’s a stage. A very tiring stage. So I didn’t do much sewing. 

I wanted a quick win. That would include pile of mending, well did all the hand sewing, not putting patches on torn knees of big boy’s joggers. But it’s next. 

I wanted to finish my scrappy/parchworky sewing machine cover. And I needed a bias tape for the edges. Also never attached bias tape before or quilted for that matter. So new skills, satisfying make two birds with one stone! 

It’s not colour coordinated it’s more oh look that’s a nice fabric where and it’s precut too! Not sure why I have these in my stash but super satisfying to just pull out ready cut out strips! 

So I had my bias tape makers but I never used them and after doing some YouTube research I made this…. Meters of it in fact!

Used pompon maker as a base to wind it up to keep tidy. Tell you one thing, it’s satisfying make and bias tape maker are a little trickier to use than expected actually. Or maybe it was just me. 

But in the end of the day I need to make wider tape or rethink how I m finishing the edge. 

I will be definitely make more tape and will finally tackle some of DIY Daisy projects soon that involve bias tape. But definitely wider tape next time!
