Description
Just like many of you, I don’t like seeing any exposed or raw edges when I make my pouches. So, after doing a bit of testing of different techniques, I decided adding fabric binding to finish inner edges was the way to go. This technique makes for a pretty easy pouch assembly and bound edges add extra stability and structure to a finished pouch. Definitely a win-win.
