DIY. Fringe Sleeve/Seam Tee

Great for making those tight tees wearable. 
Supplies: Fringe trim (3 yards) I used double sided fringe. You can make your own fringe here since it is hard to find.
tshirt



Can be made casual or dressy depending on the shirt you use. The fringe is so pretty and looks lovely on! 


DIY instructions:


Cut sleeves off and side seams open. Measure out fringe to bottom hem...pin.


Sew the fringe and shirt right sides together all the way around (front and back). The fringe i had was double sided. Usually it is sold with one side, so if you can't find it you can follow this tutorial here and make your own.


Top stitch the fringe seam leaving enough room for your arm. 

I also did this with crochet trim here.

  5. Where did you get your fringe? I can't figure out how to close up a side with ribbon, but I can't even find double sided fringe online! Help!

  6. I too would like to make this unbelievably cute top, but have been unable to find double taped fringe... keep us updated! :)

    I also have a top I purchased that uses the double taped fringe in the back - they took a simple tank pattern, opened the back and sewed one of the fringe edges to one side, then the other edge of the fringe to the other side. Across the top of the split is a stay ribbon, so the fringe drapes down nicely in the back while the shirt stays on. I know this a horrible explanation, but I wanted to share, because if anyone could make one, it would be you!

    2. Hi Laura,

      As always, love your blog and thank you reminding me to get my head out of the text books and be creative sometimes :)

      I have been persistent in my search for the elusive double-sided fringe - both for this "have-to-do" project as well as another I have in mind. Still haven't found the real deal, but I did find this tutorial...

  10. Not sure if it helps but I found some double sided fringe at Walmart today. It was sort of hidden away. Walmart's stock does vary depending on where you are (I'm in Las Vegas) but you could always go by and check. I know its hard to find.

    1. awesome Jenna,
      You can get joann fabric coupons up to 50% off the whole cut. They usually have coupons at the front or you can ask the workers if they have extras and sign up for them to come through mail is what I do. Great way to save money there.

  17. Thanks for the inspiration! I didn't have a top to use so i drafted a pattern and used the same jersey as the fringes. A very comfy, but stylish top!

  18. Is this double sided fringe or regular fringe that you didn't take off the one side? In my experience fringe is sold double sided and one side is meant to come off once it's sewn on.

    1. Yes, I found fringe that was double sided. The one side that is meant to come off was trimmed as the top part. So it was different. I assume you can try and sew the normal fringe on but it seemed to come off a bit.
