These bias piping strips are designed to make cutting out piping fabric for bodice edges faster and easier. These shorter strips can be nested directly around your bodice pattern pieces, helping you use fabric efficiently and keep your cutting layout organized.

The pattern provides lengths for traditional and longline bodice styles, in sizes A-D, Girls and Tweens. Cut exactly what is needed for the top and bottom edges of the bodice. Cut on the bias, so they curve smoothly around the bodice shape. See "How to make Piping" for details on making the piping, And  "Piping a Bodice" instructions and video for how to apply.
