Let's Get Started
Step 1
Gather your materials.
Step 2
Cut the yard of fabric into one gigantic two-inch wide strip by creating a zig-zag pattern. Then stretch the jersey so the ends roll in.
Step 3
Tightly roll one end of the jersey strip in, then secure with two perpendicular stitches.
Step 4
Make two more layers around this base with the jersey. Randomly stitch around these layers to fasten in place, making sure that you catch a bit of the base fabric with each one.
Step 5
When you’ve stitched around the entire layer, add two more layers of fabric strips and repeat. If you like, switch embroidery thread colors for an ombré look.
Step 6
To secure the end in place, make a few stitches close together at the tail of the jersey strip, then tie it off.
Step 7
Complete.
