It being payday yesterday I had a shopping day and bought fabric for the stash. Quite a bit of it. I have this idea to make lightweight culottes for next Summer seeing those are the things I most reached for this year and next is bound to be even hotter and stickier.
Binding frames reminds me of making lampshades the right way under my Mum's eagle eye. Each frame was bound with tape and stitched so we could sew the fabric to it. Getting the fabric taut and the seams on the wire was a challenge she managed easily but it comes hard to a learner. These days they just use a stiff plastic liner and glue and the shades aren't nearly as much fun.
Or as fussy...
