View C part 2

Interior Layer

You are going to construct the interior layer exactly the same way as you did for the exterior layer of View B, except you will be applying ruffled trim on the placement lines as in View A.

I'm not going to rehash those tutorals, but I would like to explain how to make and use 
piping.

Making Piping

You should cut enough 1 1/4 inch bias to make 2 yards. 

I like thin piping, so I use 100% cotton yarn as the filling for my piping and a zipper foot to construct it.
Your going to fold the bias tape in half and encase the cotton yarn in the bias tape. In the end you will make 2 sewing lines on the piping. First to encase the yarn, and second to attach the piping to the interior layer. The first line of sewing should be a scant 1/16 of an inch closer to the raw bias edge, and the second as close to the cotton yarn as possible without sewing into the yarn.




Start applying piping at center back on crown. When attatching the piping to the interior layer, to get around outside curves, pull the cotton yarn a small amount. Smooth out the bias tape so that it lays smooth over the curve.





To make a clean end to the piping, cross the ends at center back on crown.



 Next clip the outside curves.

All the other construction has previously been discussed, but I'll leave the construction pictures here if you are interested.
