Hello and Welcome to my blog. This is the Tutorial:  Fringe 101

If this is your first time in our blog, remember to check our FREE SEWING PATTERNS page.

On that page you will find our collection of free sewing patterns for women, kids and men.

You can also visit our SEWING TUTORIALS and our SEWING REVIEWS.

We also have an ETSY STORE, where you will find unique and modern sewing pattern for women.

Today’s tutorial is about how to make an easy, trendy fringe to add to your fave project.

Fringe has become very popular in the last couple of months.  It has revitalized the 70’s style, but with a modern view.

Tutorial:  Fringe 101

Easy Fringe tutorial

The inspiration for this tutorial?



Cute, isn’t 😉

 

Ok, so let’s check on the step by step tutorial on how to get a clean, beautiful  fringe.

1.  Place the pattern piece you would like to add some fringe and the facing (at least 4 inches long)

TIP:  remember that we will be cutting two inches  from the bottom , so if you are making a top, add the extra inches to the original piece.DSC_1255 2.  Sew along the edge by 3/8 inch.

DSC_1256

3.  Press flat.  DSC_1259 4.  Under-stitch the facing by making a horizontal line on the facing piece, 1/8 inch away from the original seam.DSC_1262 5.  Turn the facing and press flat.  Sew along the edge by 1/2 inch, then sew a parallel line where the fringe will start (I made mine 1 1/4 inch apart)DSC_1263 6.  Cut the bottom line.DSC_1264 7.  Then, grab a pin and start unraveling the threads.

It will take some time, but the results are worthy. DSC_12658.  Then, trim the fringe by 1/4 inch, so you will have a clean finish.
DSC_1266 9.  To add some color, I decided to make a satin stitch (zig-zag stitch 5.0 length by 04 width)DSC_1274 And it is ready.

I am thinking of making a cute bag and a nice linen top 🙂

What would you do?
