- Sewing the tuxedo – take the extra steps to conquer the narrow seam binding
I have a pattern I call the ‘tuxedo’ – (it’s Simplicity 2298 if you want to know) and I have a real love/hate relationship with it. It’s really not all that hard, but it IS time consuming and you just can’t cheat on this one. You can NOT cheat – you MUST put the binding on the recommended way – no shortcuts!! Anyway, if I don’t get in a rush and just take my time, it makes a beautiful apron in the end.
The finished apron!
