Video - Bias tape maker or pins to make bias tape

I recently bought myself a bias tape maker - wonder why I didn't buy it earlier. Simple tools just make life so easy, yet you tend to put it off for later. I don't sew an awful lot so why spend on tools. Right? Same here.. I don't own any fancy foots, tools, cutting board, curves nothing. I own a simple sewing machine and a regular and buttonhole foot that has come along. I could as well survive without this bias tape maker, it was just that spur of the moment at the fabric shop that I bought it.  I made them using pins before that.
How to make bias tape with bias tape maker or without using pins

Below is a video showing both how I make them now using the bias tape maker and using pins like how I did earlier. I didn't take the video using my camera so its not very clear, not that I take good videos.. can't figure out how to focus or rather not focus at all. I'm really bad at videos but thought it gives a clear motion view especially with the pins.

I used the bias tape maker to make bias tapes for the two summer dresses - made of lawn fabric & another one.
Before that I made then using pins for a flowy dress on which the summer dress will be based on,  nightie and this  sleeved dress.

Have a good Sunday!

  5. Nowhere is the divide stuck in American politics for the past four years and better connected than the attempted coup on the US Capitol on January 6 on themilsource

    Despite these tensions, President-elect Joe Biden has vowed to "be president of the entire United States" and plans his upcoming inauguration on the "United States of America" issue.

    While some scoffed at the idea that America can "come together" after the events of the last few days, when transportation and infrastructure, Biden may see some cooperation from Republicans.
