The bag was almost complete. Black loopy fringe had been machined to the base of the bag, when out of the corner of my eye I spied a ball of flat fibre totally matching the chosen animal print fabric. Always searching for a time saving embellishment, I unwound the fibres,
to measure four times the length of the base seam of the bag and folded in half
to make a double length. This should cover any shortage or mistakes!
Placing the double lengths flat under the foot on my sewing machine, I proceeded to sew looped lengths as close together as possible onto the double strands. WOW I was creating my own loopy fringe!
| The flat fibres were in a 50g ball /88 yards, 100% polyester, in a range of fabulous colours.

| Here's a picture of the work in progress. With the ball
on my left hand side it was simple to bring a loop up to the strands,
sew across to catch them down, and repeat the process over and over...so
fast, so easy! |
 |
| The length of loops, though uneven, were perfect to add to the bottom of the bag. |
 |
| I machine attached my fringe to the bottom edge of the bag together with a length of black, ready made, loopy fringe. |
 |
| I completed the bag, trimmed my loops in line with the rest and Voila, a fashionable tote! |
