MADE Everyday episode: how to make and understand BIAS TAPE

Welcome back to MADE Everyday, with Dana!
Today's episode features my all-time favorite sewing item.
Yep.
You know where I'm going with this....
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
That's right!  We're talking about Bias Tape!.....because bias tape is something I sew with ALL the time.  You can use it on a Baby Doll Basket, Kid Shorts, Diaper cover, a Baby Tank, as a skirt trim.  Endless ideas.

And even though you can buy it in the store, it's just as easy to make your own, with any fabric you like.
I've shared a detailed tutorial about bias tape here and instructions for sewing with it here.
But let's get personal about it.
I love a good one-on-one chat....and some good tunes (have I mentioned the fun music in these videos?) 

So come bop your head around and learn why cutting on the bias is important and how to make your own tape.  Because guess what, it's easier than you think.
Okay.  Are you biased?I hope so.
In a good way.
I mean, just hit play.  And enjoy!
