Bound Edges, Polished Finishes
If you’ve ever admired a neatly bound neckline or the crisp edge of a finished armhole, this workshop will show you how it’s done! In just three hours, you’ll learn simple binding techniques that give garments a professional, durable finish – whether on a straight hem or a curved neckline.
We’ll start with straight stitch binding – perfect for hems, waistbands, and facings – before moving on to curved edges like necklines, armholes and gently rounded hems. You’ll work hands-on with provided fabric and bias binding, guided through every step from pinning to pressing, stitching to smoothing.
What You’ll Learn
Here’s what we’ll cover during your session:
- Understanding the purpose and types of binding
- Preparing and pinning binding for straight and curved edges
- Attaching binding smoothly without stretching or puckering
- Turning, pressing, and finishing for a clean, professional look
- Troubleshooting common issues
We keep things simple and practical – learn by doing, with plenty of time for guided practice.
Hands-On, Skill-Focused Learning
You bring your sewing machine, basic kit, and thread – we’ll supply everything else. By the end, you’ll take home finished samples, new techniques and the confidence to apply beautiful binding to your next sewing project.
