If you're used to reading us, you probably know that at Tilli's, we love fringes, whatever they are! So we couldn't not devote an entire article to them.
Today, let's pay homage to fringes and learn how to fashion them on our denims in the most authentic to the most original way.
If you want to make beautiful fringes on the bottom of your Trousers, you'll need to cut the hem. Measure beforehand where you want the fringes to start so you don't cut your jeans too short.
Then, using a seam ripper, cut the side seam of your jeans to the desired height.
Finally, using a needle or tweezers, you can effiloate the bottom of your Trousers by removing the white threads that make up the weave one by one.
Here, patience will be the key word.
You'll continue until you get the fringe length you want!
If you like your jeans to have ultra-customised hems, check out our article on the subject. You'll love it!
For the fringes on the legs, you'll need to make holes if there aren't any already!
Rather than a neat hole cut with scissors, make a thin cut and then arrange to crack the fabric. The result will then be more authentic.
Then, in the way suggested above, you'll fetch the threads using your tweezers or a needle.
Pretty quick and super stylish!
For the sake of style, we wanted to show you that you can also think outside the box and come up with original fringes.
They'll require more work but they'll bring a unique style to your denim.
This is the case, for example, with famous sequin fringes from Balmain.
Now imagine beaded fringes and fringes in completely crazy fabrics: sheer, leather, fur, wool...
The possibilities are infinite!
