DIY Fringe Seam Tee.

Supplies: Jersey, 
Small tshirt.


My fringe sleeve/seam shirt tutorial (here) was a hit...unfortunately though, double sided fringe is a one time find. So here is a great way to get the same effect and I just used old jersey. 



DIY: 


Fold a soft jersey strip that measures about 6 inches wide and the length of the shirt (x2) long. Cut pinky size strips starting at the folded edge. You will want a thumb size edge left so don't cut through. 


Pull the jersey so the strips become like string. Then follow the same instructions like I did here to sew to a tshirt. I just did one strip down the middle on this one instead of attaching the trim edges in the middle.

Now that I showed you how to make fringe, you can sew this in the front or back of shirts. Follow this tutorial here, but replace the lace doily for the fringe.


& I finally set up a twitter account so you can follow me @trashtocouture.  I will try my best to keep up!

  1. Gorgeous DIY! And the cotton jersey makes it a lot easier for me, because I don't own a sewing machine and would be freaked out trying to hand sew lace.

    Definitely going to try this soon!
