A quick video and some seam binding to give away

I managed to get a quick video done showing how I get the distressed look on the seam binding that I am crazy about. It was done in between getting the dogs out for their walk so it’s a bit rushed (I take them out in threes so get to go out twice each time – must be mad lol). And check out those age spots (should have had gloves on both hands rofl).


And here's the result.
