Racerback Dress in Teepees and Fringe + quick tutorial

Hi! 

I wanted to jump on and share with you a quick and easy way I've discovered to change the bottom hem of my dresses into fringe. I've been really liking the look that fringe gives with it's movement, but I wasn't sure if I could create the clean precise strips and I wasn't interested in buy fringe trim and hoping that it washed well. 

But, I found a quick and easy solution that I can reuse over and over again. 

See? 

Perfect even fringe!

It was pretty simple! I snagged a piece of cardboard I had and began marking it along one edge every .5 inches. I made a mark at the bottom of the cardboard as well as approx. 4 inches up. Once finished I connected the marks to create lines all the way down from the top mark. Using scissors, I carefully cut the slits and made them wide enough for my rotary cutter to slip in between. Label the cardboard piece for a great fringe template. it's easy to store, easy to remake, and gives you a clean and even edging.

Also, if you're looking for awesome fabrics, let me recommend my go-to fabric shop where I buy literally 90% of all my fabrics ----> Phat Quarters Shop ... the fabrics are gorgeous and the service is amazing. 

Have fun fringe lovers!
