Turning_fabric_tubes

This "Turn-it-All" tube and dowel set is to turn fabric strips right side out (like the apron ties I made for my skirt yesterday). No more struggling, especially with narrow strips. It comes with three different tube diameters and two widths of dowels. I purchased my kit at a local quilt shop. Click on the instructions below to see an enlarged version of how it works.

Also, I wanted you to see the easy way to make an angle at the end of an apron tie. After folding the long side of your strip in half , stitch along the long edge then turn right side out (using your handy dandy fabric turning tube, of course). No need to stitch the end… just fold into a triangle then stitch along the raw edge. That’s it!
