manuela.fridrich: 07 Making the trim: Cut strips of lining and fashion fabric on the bias, sew one strip of each, lining and fabric together in the centre of the strip.
manuela.fridrich: 08 Making the trim: Here the lining strip is cut straight, I used this at the front yoke seam. Straight doesn't work on curved seams though. Test how wide you want your fringe trim to be, I cut my strips 3cm (1.5") wide
manuela.fridrich: 09 Making the trim: press your strips, press the lining to one side, the fashion fabric to the other. The lining part is now your seam allowance.
manuela.fridrich: 10 Making the trim: start fringing the fashion fabric, I highly recommend using a dining fork to do it.
