Sounds like you're looking for bias tape so that you can bind the raw edges of a project
Here's what I got out of a quick search: https://www.bing.com/shop?q=Bias Tape for Sewing&FORM=POLFLT&cvid=9c91ce14d468460cb06be3abbd193848&originIGUID=5B77842DF3DD4E4E9FD85BA620FB11AE
It's a pretty common thing so you'll also likely be able to find it the sewing section of a craft store
I believe Cl3ver first used bias tape in the Epic Banner video. He starts explaining why he used it and what it is at about 10:19: https://youtu.be/lPBv9WC3V4I?si=xRmrdUrvdZ_EBqKo&t=619
Today we make an epic banner for our upcoming LARP! This Medieval banner is the perfect way to call your clansmen (and clanswomen) to arms or just show the rest of the kingdom who's boss. It is a super easy DIY build and a lot of fun!

He also used it again in the Cloak of Useful Items video, though with less explanation, at about 11:55: https://youtu.be/w52HPjeRPZE?si=mQAtPHTapcIgRAn1&t=715

The Robe of useful items is a D&D magic item I have always loved. So, I decided to MAKE one. A real one. This bad boy stretched the limits of my sewing abilitie...
I think it may have come up one other time, but I am having trouble pin pointing it.
Thank you. My first ST project was the Ruana cloak. I don't have a sewing machine, yet, and the edges are fraying already.
Thinking of making another out of that duck canvas from the expanding backpack episode as well
If you are using any kind of woven cloth, like canvas, you'll definitely need to finish the edges to keep it from fraying. Pinking shears (they cut in a zigzag pattern) can be used to finish the edges if you don't want to sew anything further. Otherwise, you have a lot more options than buying bias tape - check out Bernadette Banner's channel. She has at least one video where she goes over all of them, and she primarily sews by hand. Felling the hem would be the simplest and most likely quickest (and then pink the interior seams).

These are my 5 favourite ways to hand finish seams for historical fashion. All of them were actually used by people throughout history and I've seen many examples of these finishes on antiques in my collection! There are, of course, many other ways that seams were finished historically, but these are the ones I like the most with historical hand...
