© Compagnie M. 2013. All rights reserved. 1 HOW TO ADD PIPING TO A GARMENT Adding piping can give any type of garment that little extra. I’m a big fan of piping, so I would like to show you how you can add piping to any type of garment. First pin the piping on top of the right side of your fabric. Place the piping with the cord side inwards. Match the piping in this way that the distance from the raw edge of your fabric till the stitch line on your piping is the same as the seam allowance you like to use. Here I use 1cm (3/8 inch). Sew at 1cm (3/8 in) to attach the piping. This should be exactly on the stitch line of the piping. Pin the second part of your garment right sides together onto the first part. The piping is now in between both parts. Sew on the same stitch line you created when adding the trim / piping.

Finish the raw edges with a zigzag stich or serge.

A small note: if you add piping to a garment that is curved, trim the piping. This way you can bend it better. To make a 90° corner, you can also use this technique.

Finished!
