I could use her address as well. I had left this one forum, but no e-mail from any of the other members. The women here are more personable. It used to be that way on the other forum, but many of the other gals left as well.

Hey! Good news! I sold two of my fall vintage aprons. They are going to a good home. Here is the apron that I finished last night. I certainly give my hands off to Bev and the others who use seam binding.

I love that fabric. I made a small quilt out of it for a doll cradle I built my niece last christmas. Then I made a kid apron, and a tote bag out of the left overs.

Glad your aprons are sellin. Bias tape is one of those things..unless you are Bev...you hate it.

Jessica, exactly. It takes longer for me to make an apron using bias tape vs. the way that I typically make them.

I really liked the fabric, and it took me a long time to figure what to use with it.

Thanks Jessica-got the address.
And thanks Kathie for getting this going-
it's a trick to maintain friendships and even more of one when
there are so many miles between us all.

Sharon, pretty as usual- ya did great on the bias tape.
I am a member of "Bias Tape Anonymous"- I have overcome my fear and dread of the stuff and thanks go to the Farmgirls on this thread-and one of them is AuntGHugs to you all!
Blessings

The thing that I hate about bias tape is that you stitch on one side, but the stitching can miss the bias tape on the reverse side. I have tried things that I never would have tried if it weren't for the gals here.

Hey Sharon....also you will notice that the bias tape has a narrower side. Always sew the bias tape on with the narrower side facing up..now the weird thing is that the tape is wound on the little cardboard the opposite way, so if you use it as it comes off the cardboard, the wider side is always up. So I unwind the entire package and start with the opposite end.....just a hint learned after about 100 packages of bias tape!!

Hey Bev. I was wondering if there was a narrower side, but could never really prove it. No wonder why I always had problems. Now, I will have to give another shot at the bias tape. Thanks Carol. I have sewn using bias tape before but always had the same problem. First time using it on an apron.
