If that's what works for you, yes.  If I'm closing something like that that I just sort of slip stitch it together, then press.  It's not as though the closure needs to be strong.

Thanks Brenda

Hi everyone 

I'm Sarah, fairly new to sewing but really enjoying the few projects I've had a go at!

I'm guessing I would make two seperate pieces then join them together, but how would you join them (it looks like a near invisible seam on both sides would be best?) Also, would it be difficult to add a bias binding edge to the two sides?

Any tips and basic walk-through advice for this project would be really appreciated!

Thanks, Sarah
