Bias Tape Adventure

Yesterday I posted a YouTube video that showed how to make bias tape.  I LOVE YouTube.  I have learned so much by watching videos on it.  I taught myself how to crochet by watching YouTube videos.  I also learned how to etch glass by watching YouTube.  If you ever want to know how to do something, look on YouTube. 

I do have to say that I had to watch the bias tape video several times before I figured out the pinning of the tube.  I thought she kept saying tooth so I thought the fabric should resemble the shape of a tooth.  Those of you who know me should not be surprised by this.  Anyway...when I finally figured out she was saying tube I got it!  Next time I need to watch how I cut it because my bias tape was not the most even in terms of measurement.  It was supposed to be two inches wide and ranged from 2 1/4" to 1 1/2" in places.

I used it on a pillowcase dress for Sydney.  I'll try to get pictures of it tomorrow to post.  If I decide to make another one I will not make it as wide because it kind of looks like she is wearing a paper bag.  Oh well, live and learn.
