Sewing Technique - The Magic Sash

Sewing technique - Belts and Sashes

Sewing Friends:

Sash belts are very popular right now.  They make great gifts and are a fun sewing project.  Kids and adults wear them around their waist, as a headband, tie them on their purses, around their legs, anywhere they want to tie a sash. 

I absolutely love to demonstrate how to sew this sash.  It is a “WOW” every time!

I call this particular sash, “The Magic Sash”.  The sash is made of straight of grain fabric, but because of a tricky sewing technique, it comes out bias. 

Mrs. Edna Bryte Bishop made this sash belt famous many years ago.  I’ve been teaching it since the early ’60’s and it is always a “hit”.
