How to make a Fringe Jacket?

Fashionable trims, such as fringe or lace, are a popular option on western jackets and other western clothing. Trims such as fringe on jackets give a "wow" look to the wearer, and turn heads wherever they are seen. Such jackets are just the right pick for fashion-savvy people. However, it can be expensive to purchase a fringed jacket to complement each outfit. Thus we want to introduce you to the idea of making your own fringe jacket. How to make a fringe jacket is not a big question; a simple jacket can be converted into a fringe jacket by following a few simple steps. So, let’s see how to make a fringe jacket!

One firstly needs to buy a simple jacket from a store or suitable online shopping portal. The fabric can be any that is liked by the wearer. Though one can make his or her own fringe jacket from a pattern, can prove to be a challenging job unless you have a great deal of sewing experience. So, one is advised to start with the existing jacket as that can be altered with ease. Measure the areas you want to add your fringe to, then select the fringe trim you would like to apply and purchase enough of it to cover all the desired areas (It's also a good idea to buy a little extra, just in case you goof). One could also make their own fringe, by selecting a suitable strip of fabric or leather. Just flip the fabric over to the wrong side, take a ruler and measure the fringe’s width and length. When deciding on a fringe width, keep the shape of jacket as well as size of the overall piece of fringe in mind. Then mark the cut-lines for the fringe on the reverse of the fabric, and finally cut the strips of fringe as neatly and finely as you can manage.

Bear in mind that there are several places and ways that you can attach the fringe to your jacket. You could apply them permanently, by sewing, or if you purchase or make a trim with a border strip, you could attach them with velcro, snaps, or some other type of inexpensive fastener. This would allow you to change the look of your fringe jacket depending upon your mood or the clothing with which you are wearing it. You also have several options for where to attache fringe. You can attach it to the underside of the arms (always a popular look on a western jacket), across the chest or lapels, across the shoulders, or lower down on the jacket - around the hem of both back and front. Or you could go all out, and put fringe in all of these places!
