Bias Binding: 20mm: Liberty: Thorpe C

Liberty Thorpe, doing the finishing touches

If you're going to finish an edge, you might as well make it a very pretty one. Our Liberty Bias Binding in Thorpe C brings that unmistakable Liberty floral magic to hems, necklines, seams and all sorts of sewing projects.

Thorpe is a true Liberty classic, with its wonderfully dense floral design inspired by early 20th-century artist John Hall Thorpe and originally drawn in 1968. Made from 100% cotton and 20mm wide, this bias binding is both useful and decorative, neatly covering raw fabric edges while adding a gorgeous flash of print to your finished make.

Use it on clothing, quilts, bags, cushions, accessories, table linens and home sewing projects, or keep a length in your sewing box for that inevitable moment when you think, "Ooh, that would look better with Liberty binding."

We particularly like using it where the binding gets a chance to be seen - around a neckline, along an edge or peeping out from inside a handmade garment. And here's the useful bit: we sell it by the metre, so you can order exactly the length you need rather than buying a whole roll. No unnecessary leftovers lurking in the stash.

What’s included: Liberty Thorpe C bias binding, sold by the metre. Width: 20mm. Composition: 100% cotton. Care: Wash at 40°C, iron on a medium setting. Do not bleach or tumble dry.

A beautiful Liberty sewing essential for neat finishes, decorative edging and adding a little extra personality to your handmade projects.

Give your edges the Liberty treatment

From a tiny trim to metres of glorious floral binding, Thorpe C is one of those sewing-stash essentials that's useful and rather gorgeous. Finish a neckline, tidy a raw edge, brighten up a quilt or add a little Liberty to a bag.
