I will dump them in my garden rows all crunched up by the mower. I use them to mulch in around shrubs etc as well. I find after the mower has crunched and bagged them... Once I dump them in their place they stay very nicely! Hope you have a good market!Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560812716080117867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-8216035939074985532014-12-05T06:49:11.154-08:002014-12-05T06:49:11.154-08:00I liked the apron style it seems so cheerful.

I know how you feel about the bias tape! Most people wouldn't care, but as sewers, well we want it to look neat and tidy. <br /> I first wrote out long instructions for you, but instead here is a youtube video that shows how to put the bias tape over the edge. I do something similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_XMeOG3_9c The part you would be interested in starts somewhere in the 4 minute area, after she is finished with the green tape. It does come out neater, as only one row of thread shows, although it will be hard to get it perfect around that tight curve. I should make one of those for our frying pan! Good luck at the craft fair!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-63297604950321190482014-12-03T13:21:39.704-08:002014-12-03T13:21:39.704-08:00That's funny.

Bias tape is too expensive to buy now. $1.88 a pack and it takes three packs for the aprons I'm making. I sell aprons for $15.00. I would love to send you a couple of the pot holders if you will email me your address. These don't look good enough to sell, but if I keep trying they might get better. :)Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-74528500424897549202014-12-03T13:20:50.184-08:002014-12-03T13:20:50.184-08:00That's funny.

At least that is my thought. Raking is hard work. <br />Have you tried making your own fabric cut on the bias trim that way you can alter the width?
