BINDING

Several of the garments and variations have bound edges, which is an attractive way to finish an unlined garment. Binding pieces are cut on the cross grain so that they can be eased around curved edges.
To decide the length of a binding, measure the edge to be bound and add on a seam allowance at each end. All the binding pieces in this book are cut 5 cm (2 in) wide. For long edges, you may have to join the material.
