In this tutorial, Jo Kay teaches you how to make piping using a bit of cotton fabric and some piping cord.
First she cuts her fabric on the bias, which means it will have a bit of stretch which is what you want for piping.
Then she'll use a bit of glue to secure her cord inside, and then she folds the fabric around the piping cord and sews it in place.
Next she clips the piping cord to the right side of the fabric (before it is sewn to the lining which will enclose the seams), and topstitches close to the piping cord.
Piping is an easy way to embellish your project with some extra finishing details.
