On the sweaters that you used twill tape or grosgrain ribbon, did you fold those over the raw edge to encase it prior to sewing it down or just sew it flat over the raw edge?

You are brilliant for coming up with a perfect way to execute it. I love the use of bias tape because it is easy to match since there are so many colours available. When you add button holes do you stabalize with anything or do you just make them close to the edge so they go through the bias tape?banclothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346705403696187772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-51023918019902788652010-11-06T23:01:04.637-04:002010-11-06T23:01:04.637-04:00I really need to get myself to a thrift store so I...I really need to get myself to a thrift store so I can start trying out some of these ideas!Jillhttp://laughbutnotloudly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-67990179055628808512010-11-06T22:11:37.897-04:002010-11-06T22:11:37.897-04:00thank you! it worked beautifully. my sweater was...thank you! it worked beautifully. my sweater was a hoodie so the neckline was thick but i sewed as far as the machine would and handstitched the top centimeter or so. very excited about making over older sweaters!sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613160883829695295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-75966901918735468062010-11-06T22:09:36.140-04:002010-11-06T22:09:36.140-04:00You are really outdoing yourself.
