Embroiderer's Delight: Bias Binding
It's only been in the past few years that I've got into bias binding. When I was younger my style was a lot more tomboy-ish so bias binding was always a bit too pretty for my tastes. However, I began to really like it when I realised how easy it is to use some binding to change the style of an old top or skirt that's been lying in the wardrobe for a while or to add a fresh twist to a second-hand find.
Here's my pick of some of the prettiest bias binding available online. Just click the link underneath the image to have a closer look and buy.
Do you use bias binding a lot? Any tips on where to buy some unusual designs? Let me know in the comments section below....
I LOVE bias binding, it's fiddly but worth it! The picot edged bindings you've included at the end are gorgeous, I've never used them before but I'll have to find a reason to! Making your own is quite simple too, there's a good tip from Coletterie here http://www.coletterie.com/tutorials-tips-tricks/time-savers-use-a-pin-to-fold-bias-tape . Thanks for sharing these!
