About once a month I will get out all my ribbons to cut a bunch at one time.  I love my Shape cut pro.  It is an acrylic template with slots spaced in 1/2 inch intervals.  I usually line up 7-8 different ribbons and cut them all at once.  Then once I finish the ribbons I use the template to cut my fabric.  It is the perfect size for the little taggie blankets!  And of course I use the rotary cutter.  This is a very fast and efficient way to cut materials for your next project.  Happy Sewing!

Its no secret that I’m not a fan of bias binding. Between burning myself with the iron while pressing and pricking my fingers while pinning, its safe to same that I strongly dislike bias binding.

Previously I posted a blog in reference to a few helpful websites about bias binding. These websites were great at teaching me how to cut the fabric and providing step-by-step instructions, but it didn’t solve my issue of burning myself while pressing.

Well, good news, you no longer have to endure the smell of scorched skin to press your binding! Put the aloe plant back in the sun and let it flourish, your burnt finger days are over! The bias tape maker is here! Alright, so its been out for a while, but I just discovered it and I’m excited to try it out.
