    applying binding for otto 3/2009 camp shirt-dwnlds



    i am pretty sure there are a few other methods to sew this but here is mine i am not the best in explaining stuff so i took a ton of pictures.

    step 1, pin the collar and shirt, right side together


    step 2, machine baste as close to the edge as i can. i ran out of white interfacing so the black stuff is interfacing. my seam allowance is the area around the interfacing.


    step 3 - because i was impatient, i flip it to see how it will look and also to make sure it matches the other side. ignore the raw edges, i dont have a serger. unflip it before attaching the binding.


    step 4, i use ready made single fold bias tape, i open the bias tape and sew the edge next to the basting stitch.


    step 5 - trim all the excess and flip it over


    step 6 - stitch the binding, this is the tricky part, pull the bias tape slightly and also make sure the back part is not bunched up and sew slowly


    step 7 - all done.


    step 8 - voila, a pretty collar


    if i learned anything with making camp shirts, your iron is your best friend during the process of sewing it. i hope this will help someone.

    thanks

    Thank you, thank you. I will read this again tomorrow at the office when I am more awake and hopefully I won't have any questions.

    this is my 2nd camp shirt this style (the raglan style is harder than the one from 3/2009) and i like it, not easy peasy but definitely didnt give me much grief that i want to rip the shirt apart.

    I like your idea of using bias tape rather than cutting the bias binding. I will do that next time I make the shirt.
