Show Trim Your Fabrics If you're doing some trimming about the household, you'd be surprised sur-prised how easy it is when you have the know-how. In making pompoms for hats or dresses or. other purposes,' use embroidery twist (thread), novelty knitting thread or yam. Cut two circles on cardboard with a hole In the center of each. Thread needle and pass around the holes and around cardboard until a thick layer is formed all the way around. The thicker the layer, the fluffier the pompom. Cut the thread between the two cardboards, card-boards, remove them, holding threads firmly in the center and tie a thread to secure them at that point. Clip edges of thread. To make fringe, buy it by the yard or ravel threads from the material you are using. Cover the top of the fringe with tiny braiding or overcast it Then comb to make it straight. |
