1-1/2" strips of lining were cut on the bias, and joined to create one long strip. 2-1/2" strips of fabric were then cut. Often this would be cut on the bias, but the weave of this fabric looks much better if the fringe is taken only from the horizontal (weft) threads. The lining strip was then sewn onto the fabric strip, then the fabric strip folded in half and a line stitched just along the fold. The fabric was then trimmed to 3/4". Trimming after the fabric has been folded and stitched makes it easier to get a nice straight edge. And last, all of the vertical (warp) threads are carefully pulled away, leaving the fringe trim to be sewn onto the garment.
