Step #1: Cut a fabric as shown in the picture below(Fat Quarter measures 18 inches (along
lengthwise grain) x 22 inches (along the weft/crosswise grain is nearly a square
Step #2: Fold the fat quarter then create a crease along the folded part and
finally cut along the crease.
Step #3: Place the triangle on the top; right side facing down and top edges
even. Sew 1/4″ seam along the top edge and press the seam open.
Step #4: Press seam open.
Step #5: Measure and mark out the width of your tape 2 inches
on the wrong side of the fabric
Step #6: Fold the fabric with right sides facing each other and the lines are matching up. Both outer
edges of the fabric will match up with a line. It may seem all wonky, but don’t worry, it will all make
sense when you are ready to make the continuous cut.
Step #7:Pin the matching lines 1/4″ down from the edge of fabric. This part is tricky as you need
to fiddle with the positioning of the fabric so that after you pin and the fabric lays flat, the lines will
be straight and matching up completely.
Step #8: Sew 1/4″ seam along where you pinned. Take pins out as you sew.
Step #9: Press seam open
Step #10:You will now have a twisted kind of tube with a continuous line that
spirals around the fabric. This is the line you will be cutting along.
Keep cutting and going around the fabric tube until the end.
Step #11: Fold binding tape/strip in half and press
Step #12:Folding the bias strips in two ways;

A. Old Method
B. New: Using a bias maker
Assignment:
Create a template by using a craft paper or manila paper to make yourself a template. Use a tape measure to see how long you
want for your apron. Cut the pattern according to size. Note: The pattern is just half the size of the real measure of your apron.
