Arina makes this tutorial; say hi on IG and thank her by following her account.
Cut a strip, slightly wider than the hem and with a height of 5.5″ – 14 cm. Fold the long top side 1.2″- 3 cm and iron a fold in the strip, this will be the line to where you will cut.
Fold the strip open again. I use a rotary cutter, a long ruler and a cutting mat, to cut the fringes. The mat is great for marking your cutting lines. You cut every 1/8″- 1 cm of the fabric until you reach the fold.
Continue until you have cut the entire strip.
If you want to thread beads on it then proceed in this way: pull at the bottom of the fringe. Do this between 2 fingers, otherwise the fringe will break. Then roll the tip of the fringe between your fingers, so that it is small enough to thread a bead on it. Put a knot at the bottom of the fringe.
Place the fringe on your hem edge and secure with a pin on clip about 0.7 cm from the side seam.
Pin or clip the facing to the hem, you now have 3 layers, with the fringe in between. Now sew the facing in place as described in the original instructions.
Cut the fringe further, up to the hem.
