Step 11Cut your bias tape and clean up the edges
Folding and stitching the edges of your bias tape it will give the finished product a cleaner look. Cut a piece of bias tape for each of the three unfinished pouch edges -- one piece for each side, and one piece for the bottom. Cut the side pieces a half inch longer than the height of the pouch, and cut the bottom piece one inch longer than the width of the pouch.
You only have to finish one cut end of the bias tape for each side piece, but you have to finish both ends of the bottom bias tape piece. Here's how (see additional photos for details):
First, open the main fold of your double-folded bias tape.
Fold down each corner into a triangle, and iron that down.
Then fold the tape over on itself at the base of the triangles, enclosing the triangles in the fold. Iron that, too.
Then stitch the folded edge down.
