How to make a fringe trim with fabric remnants


Today I'll show you how I made the fringe trim on my jacket, using fabric remnants. This is not a real tutorial, more of an idea exchange which you might find interesting.

When I was sewing the jacket I was left with small fabric scraps that I wanted to use to make the fringe trim. I cut the fabric in strips of equal width, but they were quite short - 10 - 20 cm each, since I didn't have longer pieces of the fabric. I frayed off several threads from each of the strips and got the fringe.

I pinned the fringe strips to the edge of the jacket, overlapping their ends, in order to hide the transition from one strip to another. Note how I laid the strips - the fringe is directed towards the jacket's sides. From this point on, I finished the jacket using my standard process and attached the lining using the bagging a lining technique.
In order to prevent further fraying of the strips, I sewed by hand a row of looped stitches, using a thread in the matching color. Since the stitches were quite tiny and the thread blended in, I wasn't able to snap a photo of the detail.

Kako napraviti ukrasne rese od ostatka materijala


Danas ću da vam pokažem kako sam napravila rese od materijala na jakni. Ovo i nije baš pravi tutorijal, više razmena ideja, možda vam bude zanimljivo.


Dakle, kada sam šila jaknu, ostali su mi mali komadi materijala, od kojih sam htela da napravim rese. Iskrojila sam trake materijala, jednake širine, ali su trake bile relativno kratke - po 10 - 20 cm duge. Oparala sam nekoliko niti sa svake od traka, kako bih dobila rese.

Trakice sam špenadlama pričvrstila za ivicu jakne, preklapajući malo krajeve susednih trakica, kako se ne bi video prelaz sa jedne na drugu. Primetite da su rese postavljene u smeru ka bočnoj strani jakne. Na dalje sam jaknu šila koristeći uobičajenu tehniku prišivanja postave za jaknu.
Samu ivicu trakica, tj. resa, sam naknadno ručno obradila, praveći sitne kružne bodove oko same tkanine a uz ivicu resa, koristeći konac u odgovarajućjo boji. Na taj način sam zaštitla tkaninu od daljeg paranja; praktično sam ručno izendlala ivicu materijala. Zbog sitnog boda i boje konca ova intervencija se ni ne vidi na materijalu, pa nisam mogla da uslikam detalj.
