    Finishing the edges on a triangle top

    I have some scrap fabric that I'd like to make into a triangle/halter top to wear for practice. I've seen some really nicely finished edges on triangle tops, where it looks like a narrow strip of fabric has been sewn down over the edges of the triangles.

    Here's a link to a photo of Ozma in a gorgeous top with this type of finishing.

    Any tips on how to do this?

    It looks like bias edging. There are lots of tutorials online about making and attaching your own bias tape. This first one, other than the bad audio sync, does a nice job of giving an overview. The second one uses a fancier approach with more expensive tools.
