Hello all! and Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers
out there!
Now I was working on a particular piece recently and thought to
save snippets of my work, and make mini-tutorials as I go along. I
work with bias all the time i.e i cut fabrics on the bias to create
certain silhouettes, i make bias trimmings/tapes with different
fabrics as against buying (custom bias tapes add a certain sense of
uniqueness to an outfit as you can make use of any colour and type
of fabric you are working with :-)
Anyways, to the business of the day! I'll first introduce what a bias
trimming is before making it with you. A bias trimming is a narrow
strip of fabric, cut on the bias of a fabric, although I illustrated this
in the ankara bangle series, I would illustrate it again here.The bias
is found at 45 degrees to the straight grain of the fabric, and is also
called the 'cross grain'.
more on the other side...
