What a super clever idea, thank you! Love the maggies- but my dog was very confused and couldn’t understand why he was hearing them in the lounge room at nighttime !!!
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs we have to be careful what we watch, Jango gets a bit obsessed watching TV. We just have to say “ what’s on TV?”,or even better “ where’s Costa?” And he runs in to the TV ( he loves watching Gardening Australia!)

I just purchased some 1.25”, from an online shop. I haven’t tried sewing a narrow hem yet, but I had a hard time getting that first edge off. After that it was easy.
Thanks Christine , now to start the bridesmaid dress hem , first a trip to town for the buckram tape ( did a google search and it looks like Soptlight has the tape)
Hi Christine, hope your hands r healing well, thanks for the tip, I wonder though, what it’s called in South Africa.. the view from your sewing room is so wonderful & soothing, thanks for sharing..
Hi Sadia. I would try searching for buckram or waistband/belting interfacing, but it does need to be woven so you can pull the threads. Hands are doing quite well. A little sewing, but still a bit weak for scissors though 😀
This is so interesting, I was intrigued until the very end, couldn’t figure out what you were going to do. This is so neat, thank you for sharing this. You’re lucky to have such a nice outdoor area, and the magpies! How cool is that!
I thought that there were small dogs barking at something. We don't have magpies here. Thank you for the lesson on how to make a better narrow hem; and, it was nice to meet the magpies. Are you feeding the magpies? We have crows here. They make a different sound (and they don't come so close to my house).
Hi Arvetta. I don't feed the magpies, but they do love to eat Coco's scraps if she leaves them lying about. They'll also come close to our plates if we eat on the deck. 😁
Eve, BanRol is often used as a stiff interfacing for belts and waistbands. It's very popular for narrow hems. I believe it is a US product, and something we can no longer get in Australia. I think it's getting difficult to find under that name too. If you are searching for the Buckram, make sure that you get the "Woven" tape and not the paper, or pleated version. You need to be able to pull the threads😀
Wow, Christina. This is just so cool. Ive never even heard of this Buckram tape. Will it work when doing it in rounds, like trousers and skirts? Loved your Maggies. I, too, have Magpies. Trevor, Tilly, Jasmine and Fluff (amongst many others) and they come to me every day, twice a day, and jump on my arms and head to be fed. If I lie on the grass, they jump on my tummy and legs. If I could Id send you a video to show you on here, I would. Thanks for this video. Ive been away for a while, but Im back now and looking forward to catching up with what your up to xxx
Thanks Lorraine. Yes it'll work on rounds. I like it for my circle skirts expecially. I love that your magpies are so friendly with you. I call all mine "Maggie" I'm very original 🤣
As long as you don't iron it, you shouldn't have any problems Wesley. Though I wonder if the glue used on one side would prevent the threads from coming apart. I've also used curtain heading tape with success😀
I’ve never seen this technique before. So cool. I didn’t realize magpies were that loud. Thanks for showing them to us.
It' a real time saver Vicky. No pins required.
Those Magpies wake us up at around 6.30 each morning 😄
I’ve never seen that trick before. I certainly didn’t think of sewing on the frayed side. I love the sound of Maggie’s.
Don't the Maggies make a fabulous sound Narelle? It's interesting listening to them all communicate 😀
Brilliant just brilliant!! Back in the day I used Buckram to make French-pleated draperies, but never saw this technique. Super. Thank you!!
Cyn, this is great for waistbands and belting too 😀
This is a new technique to me. Thank you
Thanks Cynthia. It's amazing how may applications it can be used for 😀
Great tip Christine. I will be using that one for sure. What a beautiful view you have from your sewing room window with the sounds of nature too.
Thanks janet. It's my happy place 😀
That’s a magic trick. Great tip
Glad you liked it Shawn. It's such a time saver 😀
What a super clever idea, thank you! Love the maggies- but my dog was very confused and couldn’t understand why he was hearing them in the lounge room at nighttime !!!
Haha, that's so funny Dianne. It's always amusing watching Coco's reaction when we're watching animals on TV 😀

Wow! That's so good wish I knew this trick a long time ago. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks Gail. There are still many applications that I forget to use this technique for every day 😀
Great video and I learned something new about hemming. Thanks for sharing such clear instructions. Loved seeing your magpies!
Thanks Colette 😀
Thank you! I make single fabric hemmed napkins and this will save me hours. Thank you 😊
This technique would be perfect for napkins and tea towels 😁
That is genius Christine, never seen that before, thank you👍
You’re welcome DB 😊
Genius. Thank you!
You're very welcome CK! 😀

You're lucky to be able to source it Judi. I found one packet in a deceased estate find, and I'm saving it for a rainy day😁
What a neat tip. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome Pat 😀
Gorgeous birds!!
I think so too Tina😊
Wow! This is awesome!
Thanks Carol 😀

Oh wow, I hope they have it Maxine. Let me know how you go 😄

So glad I was able to keep you guessing until the end Debbie. Those Maggies are so fun to listen to 😀
I get my ban rol from an online shop in Brisbane (fortitude Valley)
That's great Kim. I can't even get it from my wholesale suppliers 😆
Wow
very cool
Thanks Maxine 😀
That was awesome. I hope I can find some of that!!
Thanks Connie. I've popped a link for it in Australia, as well as an Amazon link in the US, down in the description box 😀
Well the things you can learn! Thank you for that 💐
Haha, you are very welcome Sue 😀

Now if I can find some buckram made of woven cotton instead of the plasticy stuff. It is hard to find in the US anymore.
That was so clever ,never seen that done before.Can you tell me please what a Ban Rol is I have never heard of it,thanks

In the UK it seems to be offered as an iron-on version. Will this still be OK or will the threads be too glued together to separate?
