Stays (binding finished)

After making some horribly small bias binding, I finally made a decision what to do next.
I wanted to save some fabric (because I have other plans for the same colour) so I had to order new fabric for more bias binding.

I thought "hey, if I am to order new fabric for binding, why not a contrasting colour?". I couldn't decide on the colour (white and crème somehow seemed ugly) and couldn't wait so long for the fabric to arrive anyway :P
So I did use the rest of the fabric after all. I'll order more if it's really necessary

The bigger new tape maker was put to good use. I even cut the fabric 5mm wider than it should have been. That was a good idea! It wasn't too wide at all... After sewing the strips together and looooooots of ironing, the binding is done!

My tip for today: always cut your binding wider than you want too :P
