Thanks for the detailed instructions! I was making a Girl Scout Leader vest and didn’t want to add extra weight or warmth with a lining. This was perfect!

Thank you for this! I have a top pattern that wants a lining, but I had to cut the neckline different and it’s a pain to try to make it fit (stopped half way through sewing as it didn’t fit). I ‘m going to try this.

Thank you Thank you!! I was reading the directions for a dress that I am making for my daughter and I was ready to give up before I even started because I was confused by the directions. Thank heavens for the internet and the great pictures and description you have provided here! I totally understand how to use the bias tape now! THANK YOU for your help!

Thank you sooo much! For some reason (madness perhaps….actually I just couldn’t find what I wanted) I made a dress for christmas with no pattern just an idea in my head. But I got stuck with finishing the neck and armholes in a way suitable for the dress. This was the PERFECT way to finish it off my cocktail style princess-line dress. Thanks for the great tutorial I couldn’t have got it right (and first time – no unpicking!) without it!

Blossom – Use the same method as for the neckline. I really can’t show it any better. Pictures 12 and 13 show the armhole process, stitched the same way as the neck right above.

Another thank you! I had the same idea as Beal and the directions in my pattern seemed to go along with the idea that the bias tape should be folded over the raw edge (which is why you should never try to read an unfamiliar pattern at 11:30pm!!), but this makes the process so much clearer!

This is great! I saw a blouse on someone else’s blog, and I couldn’t figure out how she finished the neckline. My mind was stuck in the mode that bias tape encloses the fabric edge(s) and is visible on both sides. But in this case, the bias tape is like a facing so it’s visible only on one side (well, this is my newbie way of thinking about it — probably not very accurate, but it helps me understand how it works!). Thanks so much for the explanation!
