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

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. 2. Sew along the edge by 3/8 inch.

3. Press flat. 4. Under-stitch the facing by making a horizontal line on the facing piece, 1/8 inch away from the original seam. 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) 6. Cut the bottom line. 7. Then, grab a pin and start unraveling the threads.

It will take some time, but the results are worthy. 8. Then, trim the fringe by 1/4 inch, so you will have a clean finish.
9. To add some color, I decided to make a satin stitch (zig-zag stitch 5.0 length by 04 width) And it is ready.

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

What would you do?

Craftsy Class Review: 40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know

Thank you for visiting On the Cutting Floor. This is Craftsy Class Review: 40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know

This is the review of the Craftsy Class ”40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know”.

I got this class a few months ago and it is the very first class that I watched and finished the same day.

And I loved every part of it.

I usually watch my Craftsy classes while sewing, I makes me feel in the mood 🙂

One of the things that I liked the most about ”40 Techniques every sewer should know’‘ is that it has the ability to keep you interested: the pace is good and the tips are great.

Besides, I love how Gail Yellen, the instructor, is able to demonstrate every single technique with an smart and interesting point of view.

I really enjoy the fact that she has chosen to show ”before and after” sequences or projects finished ”with and without” certain techniques. She certainly makes her point!

I also love that this class has become a recurrent reference class for me: every time I need to recall on a specific technique, I watch the part of the lesson again.

What you will get with this class:

1. Pressing Matters

2. Stitch Perfect

3. Curves and Corners

4. Interfacing Techniques

5. Beautiful Bindings

6. Sleeves Made Simple

7. Getting Closure

8. Bonus Tip

Plus, by using the Craftsy Platform you have the option of asking questions to the instructors and peers.
