Step 6Adding the Fringe
POCKETS
Cut 1 strip of fabric, 2 inches wide, and about 3 feet long.
Fold in half lengthwise, and iron.
There are 2 ways to do this. The first is to baste-stitch along the raw edge - not the folded edge. Tie off both ends, then pull one of the thread ends until you start to see a wrinkle in the fabric. Run you hand down along the fabric until it straightens out. Repeat the process, until you have all the fabric gathered. The problem with this method is that the thread likes to break, and the raw edges fray quickly.
Although it takes a bit more time in the beginning, using needle & thread allows for easy adjustments.
You will need to use about 2 yards of thread for the apron fring, and about 1 yard for the pocket fringe.
Thread your needle and tie both ends together. (You should have 2 strands tied at the end together.)
Weave the fabric across the needle, then pull through. Continue this process until all the fabric is gathered. Tie off the end. Sew the raw edge to the back side of the pockets. Fold the ends over, and sew the pockets back onto the jeans.
APRON FRINGE
Do the same process for the apron fringe.
Cut 3 strips, 4 inches wide, and about 3 feet in length each.
You can easily adjust where you want your gathering to fit around the apron.
(Again, you will see the fringe put on before the pocketwork & the middle fabric piece. It's better to do it the way I explained.)
DO NOT sew the fringe on the apron yet. See the next step.
