Currently containing the urge to make every single boning channel appear symmetrical from the right side. We'll see if I give into it once all the boning channels are actually on, certainly I could have them all done before making decisions about even more tactical unpicking!

An ode to petersham binding instead of bias binding! Not only can you get petersham in almost any fibre you like, it's also much thinner and quite malleable, so you can stretch and squish it together like bias binding without all the bulk. This viscose one I'm using is also very pretty and you don't need to pin it to sew it on, at all. Just keep one edge on a line of stay-stitching or drawn line a distance from the raw edge, flip, stitch again, done! #Sewing

What's petersham in Finnish? I don't think I've ever heard the English term!

@Astatuutikki It's ripsinauha! Sometimes sold under hattunauha because you can use it inside the hat as well as on the hat brim edge, but ripsinauha is what it's actually called.
