Here are some tips for sewing skinny strips:
- Starch the fabric - it really helps to keep the strips from growing.
- Extra fabric is your friend. Cut the pieces longer than you think you need, then trim them up after you piece them together.
- If the strips are made up of more than one piece of fabric, sew the strips in units, then sub cut them to avoid lots of short seams. Again, leave yourself a little extra width so that you don't end up short in the end.
- Don't iron the sewn strips, press them to keep them in shape.
