Seam Binding Tutorial

Monday, July 18, 2011 - 38 comments
One of my favorite things is seam binding. I just love it...It's not too bulky and works great on just about any project. The best part is I can dye them to be any color I want.

Here is a quick video on how to dye your own seam binding and different types of inks you can use

Watch below | Watch on You Tube


I ordered my seam binding from Sew True.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday
Hugs,

    Another great idea!! I took your idea of dyeing paper to make those crinkle flowers and love them. I don't have the supplies you do, but I found using Wax paper and just wetting it and stamping my tim holtz inks directly on the wax paper works just fine too. I don't have re inkers and for those of us that don't thought I'd pass this on, that it works fine too.

    I did a video on this on my You Tube channel but I put mine in zip lock bags and dry it in the oven. I need to get some rubber gloves. Thanks for showing me another way to do it. Try the oven sometime. You get a nice little brown on the edges.

    thanks for the info on seam binding. I cannot wait to see cards you have made using the binder. What was the name of the white decorative trim you used on the last part of your video? I love it and would love to get some. Thanks.

    Thanks for the video. I even like the idea of reusing the Glimmer Mist bottle for water. Those little water sprayers can get expensive!

    BTW, so happy you get phone calls! I didn't with my husband in Vietnam and my son in Cuba. It sure is a different day and age!

    Nice to be able to make your own colors. Especially like the teal color you made & gathered ribbon you colored. In a class I took with Tim Holtz last yr we did this with ribbon & the paint dabbers and used the colored ribbon to tie onto the pages of a journal book we made.

    Thanks for sharing your awesome video and technique! FYI, I found the same ribbon on Etsy for a better price. The seller is "zipperstop": $7.95+$3.75(S&H)=$11.70. (as opposed to $15.50 @ Sew True) I love a good bargain and wanted share that info. :)

    Thanks for the great video on coloring the seam binding. I wondered if there is a particular amount of seam binding that you color at a time. In the video you were just cutting random amounts, but when you do batches, do you do a yard at a time or couple of yards?
    Thanks for sharing!
