Happy Wednesday friends....

Today I'm sharing with you a super-easy DIY, but bangs are so cool, if I listened to myself I'd put them everywhere... These bangs are crazy, they'll dress up a t-shirt in no time. You know those bangs on the bottom of your grandmother's sofa, yes yes, the ones you can find in any real haberdashery... But I'd rather believe I've got Indian syndrome... Minnetonka or else Johnny Hallyday (for the fringed leather jacket aspect, eh?) not quite digested, rather that of granny's sofa.... Here I'm proposing just one fringed version, but you're free to sew bangs on a long-sleeved t-shirt, along the sleeves or on the chest in the shape of a heart, or even horizontally to make a Charleston t-shirt, or why not a revisited sailor's jacket... No limits, I tell you, as with the DIY pompom have fun!

 

 For this DIY, you need:

  • 1 tshirt
  • about 2 meters of fringe (but it's up to you)
  • 1 box of pins
  • Thread and needle

 

To begin, draw a symmetrical line where you want to sew your fringe (1). Then, before you start sewing, I recommend that you pin your strips of fringe to make sure you're on the right track, and try them out to see how they look (2). Then, using a needle and thread, attach the fringe strip (4). Okay, I'm lying, I didn't do it by hand but by machine, but I'm thinking of those of you who don't necessarily have a sewing machine... and TADAM (5&6), try it and twist!
