She suggested to add this free video tutorial by Hermes.com to our free sewing pattern for Bina Wrap cardigans and other garments like this. The sheer tunic dress that I made recently could also be finished this way. Rolling the edges gives a beautiful and professional handmade flair to your fashion.

Sewing Tips for Rolling Edges
- As you can see in this very simple video, your main ingredient in doing this is patience. It will take time and precise stitches to get a professional result.
- Pre-roll the fabric so that it roll smoothly. Pin the fabric into the desired rolled-edge width before starting to sew.
- Move your pins (and your guiding paperclips!) as you progress.
- Be ultra-finicky with the corners. Note how the seamstress completes the entire side, before turning the corner, by 90 degrees. Your attention to detail will make a difference in the overall look of your handmade scarf, Bina wrap or other hand-rolled garment edge.
Good luck.

2) Q&A and further sewing instructions to make your own Bina Wrap cardigan.
This page would be part 3) How to finish your Bina Wrap with professional rolled edges.
