You can lay a strip of coutil or canvas in a cotton bias if you like, or just make the whole casing from from a tightly woven canvas. Yea! Glad to hear you're still sewing!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621589278068001456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-14496305336793923702012-03-19T10:19:42.516-07:002012-03-19T10:19:42.516-07:00Slowly catching up with the sew-along.

I don't want to use coutil, because where I live it's really hard to get and quite expensive too. Could I use just ordinary cotton bias tape or make my own from ordinary cotton fabric? Or is it too light?Aijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807496694571504098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-44449764334712588302012-02-01T14:21:19.327-08:002012-02-01T14:21:19.327-08:00It's beautiful!

It was a breeze to put together. (Aside from my difficulties with my boning casings, probably due to the fact that I was doing single boning instead of double along the seams.) Thanks so much for making the pattern available! Your Foundations Revealed article was also incredibly informative. I've also been following along with the sew along and have been finding it a great source of information and inspiration.
