Apparently, I forgot how to make bias tape. I can't tell you how many hours this took me. If I paid myself a living wage for this, I'm sure this is a $200 bunch of bias tape.
After all that work, I had half a mind to save it for, you know, posterity. Alas, it was meant for something greater.
There were, I confess, a few false starts attaching the bias tape. Terry cloth is sort of a tricky medium to work with. I usually partially hand-stitch bias tape, but I couldn't imagine working with that loopy material. So this is fully machine-stitched. The next ones will be better.
Still, it turned out pretty nicely.
And it's fully reversible!
This one already has a home, but I'm working on some for the shop, now that I can make them in less than 40 hours.
And here are some future bathmats. My good friend gave me a giant bag of vintage sheets yesterday. Aren't they just the height of gorgeous? The cat's meow? Suffice it to say, I get a little too excited about used bedding.
