I’ve never seen this technique before. So cool. I didn’t realize magpies were that loud. Thanks for showing them to us.

[narelleworks]

I’ve never seen that trick before. I certainly didn’t think of sewing on the frayed side. I love the sound of Maggie’s.

[cynforrest]

Brilliant just brilliant!! Back in the day I used Buckram to make French-pleated draperies, but never saw this technique. Super. Thank you!!

[ShadowMoonFarms]

This is a new technique to me. Thank you

[janetsheehan]

Great tip Christine. I will be using that one for sure. What a beautiful view you have from your sewing room window with the sounds of nature too.

[gailreynolds]

Wow! That's so good wish I knew this trick a long time ago. Thanks for sharing ❤

[diannemh]

What a super clever idea, thank you! Love the maggies- but my dog was very confused and couldn’t understand why he was hearing them in the lounge room at nighttime !!!

[colettestarks]

Great video and I learned something new about hemming. Thanks for sharing such clear instructions. Loved seeing your magpies!

[sguhl]

Thank you! I make single fabric hemmed napkins and this will save me hours. Thank you 😊

[dbdesignsandsewingaustrali]

That is genius Christine, never seen that before, thank you👍

[debbiehall]

This is so interesting, I was intrigued until the very end, couldn’t figure out what you were going to do. This is so neat, thank you for sharing this. You’re lucky to have such a nice outdoor area, and the magpies! How cool is that!

I just purchased some 1.25”, from an online shop. I haven’t tried sewing a narrow hem yet, but I had a hard time getting that first edge off. After that it was easy.

[suewalsh]

Well the things you can learn! Thank you for that 💐

[kimpowyer]

I get my ban rol from an online shop in Brisbane (fortitude Valley)

[conniewilliams]

That was awesome. I hope I can find some of that!!

[ksandry]

Thanks Christine , now to start the bridesmaid dress hem , first a trip to town for the buckram tape ( did a google search and it looks like Soptlight has the tape)

[sadiaosman]

Hi Christine, hope your hands r healing well, thanks for the tip, I wonder though, what it’s called in South Africa.. the view from your sewing room is so wonderful & soothing, thanks for sharing..

[arvettadelashmit]

I thought that there were small dogs barking at something. We don't have magpies here. Thank you for the lesson on how to make a better narrow hem; and, it was nice to meet the magpies. Are you feeding the magpies? We have crows here. They make a different sound (and they don't come so close to my house).

[evekankam]

That was so clever, never seen that done before.Can you tell me please what a Ban Rol is I have never heard of it, thanks

[lorrainemcneil]

Wow, Christina. This is just so cool. Ive never even heard of this Buckram tape. Will it work when doing it in rounds, like trousers and skirts? Loved your Maggies. I, too, have Magpies. Trevor, Tilly, Jasmine and Fluff (amongst many others) and they come to me every day, twice a day, and jump on my arms and head to be fed. If I lie on the grass, they jump on my tummy and legs. If I could Id send you a video to show you on here, I would. Thanks for this video. Ive been away for a while, but Im back now and looking forward to catching up with what your up to xxx
