In February 2017 I started “Bias Month,” in which I shared a bunch of sewing lessons on what bias is and how to use bias tape in various ways. I also included included some practical tutorials and a free sewing pattern.
Bias Month ended up going well beyond that month, and I actually still have quite a few bias tutorials and projects to share, so I decided to make one page where I could put them all for easy reference. I highly suggest you bookmark or save this post on Pinterest so that you can come back to it whenever you need some guidance with bias tape! I will continue to add lessons and projects to it, so be sure to come check back in every so often to see what’s new!

Years ago I saw a craft project of several village-type houses and businesses like a barber shop, post office, saloon, blacksmith…all made from bias tape. The “village” was made to go across the top of a door frame or window frame. Would you happen to know where I could find the instructions for this?
Hi Joan, sorry, but I can’t even picture what it is that you’re describing! Do you mean like bias tape around a wire that is bent to make the shapes of these buildings?
