So, I made my own bias tape...

It turned out pretty well. I used a combo of these great tutorials from MADE and Prudent Baby. I like the way Prudent Baby has you cut one continuous strip, but because I didn't measure and mark properly this may not be the best method for me, I cut a nice long continuous strip, but the width is inconsistent. MADE's method may take a little more time, sewing all of your shorter strips together, but for me and my lack of attention to detail with measuring and cutting, I think it will yield the best results. Yes, note to self...with sewing, measuring and cutting are rather important. 

I probably should've made my first attempt with practice fabric, but that's not my nature, so I made 10+ yards for a placemat project I'm working on. It was an enjoyable process and I can't wait to make more, I love bias tape and am so excited to be able to make my own!
