I'm going to try to do a weekly tip in sewing techniques!!! I'll pick one based on what I'm working with currently and what's come to the forefront of several projects that I've wanted to start on is bias tape. To me, I tend to not work on a pattern because I'm too lazy to make the bias tape!!! So, I've decided to hunker down tonight and sew several yards of bias tape in different fabrics. That way I don't have an excuse to skip a project and I can add some fun flair to dresses/projects with various color bias tape! :-)
The tutorial that I suggest is http://jonag.typepad.com/stop_staring_and_start_se/2009/10/turn-one-fat-quarter-into-5-yards.html
OR

Off to sew!!! (And watch Next Food Network Star while I cut my continuous tape! lol!)
