I too have done this just like Debbie Cook says, starting on the right side (right sides to right sides), then fold over to the back and top stitch it down with a twin needle from the right side, then finally trim away the excess binding on the back. I just got a serger with cover stitch capabilities though, so from now on, I'll probably cover stitch such edgings. I love using such bindings, on home sewn items, it really gives it a professional and nicely finished look, that is for sure! I've even used it on home sewn panties, using the white edges of a 4-way stretch print, making panties and boxers with no elastic at all. Very comfortable to wear! Great tutorial.

I am fortunate that I live 15 minutes from the Ikea in Sydney, so it is an easy trip over there during the week to avoid weekend crowds. But your mention of Sam's make me miss warehouse shopping in the US. Every time I am over visiting my mom, we have some hilarious adventure in Sam's or Costco. I love shopping trips like that!

Our family and friends have Wii parties! We get together at one of our homes, have some delicious snacks and drinks and Wii bowl late into the night. I also have Wii Fit. It does give quite a workout when done repeatedly over a half hour or so. I LOVE Wii !! Our family and friends have Wii parties!

Wish I had the initiative to do the same. I'm always losing things that I think I've saved. I really don't even know how to use gmail to it's utmost. I agree, you are awesome.
