Binding

You know how it goes...

the quilting is all done 

so you have to make the binding.

Measure and measure

and cut.

I wanted to use some stripey fabric from an old kimono

and if my maths is correct I need to cut 25 strips!

It's only 13'' from selvedge to selvedge.

And as I started to sew I  started to panic.

Doesn't seem like I have made enough...

And then I knock one of the dials changing the stitch and snap the needle.

Lucky I find a new packet of needles

Then the bobbin runs out.

It's done now

and my favourite bit...

hemming the binding.
