Looking for a quick project that looks great and is easy to sew? Look no further than the current issue of Threads (#143, July 2009) for my article on a bias top made from fabric squares called “Get Biased”.

“Stitch a bias top that’s as easy to sew as it is comfortable to wear. The trick to sewing a successful bias garment is to engineer the design with sewing on the straight or cross-grain of the fabric, and this top does just that by piecing together two squares of fabric. It’s all about simple pattern, fast cutting, and quick sewing. Once you’ve master the steps, you can change the details to make it your own.”
