How Do You Make Chanel Trim?

Are you interested in making your very own Chanel trim? It’s a great way to add a touch of luxury to any outfit or accessory. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to create your very own Chanel trim.

Materials You Will Need

  • Tweed fabric
  • Lining fabric
  • Chain
  • Thread
  • Needle
  • Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut the Fabric

The first step is to cut the tweed fabric and lining fabric into strips. The width of the strips should be twice the width of the finished trim you desire. For example, if you want a finished trim that is one inch wide, cut your strips two inches wide.

Step 2: Sew the Strips Together

Next, sew the tweed strip and lining strip together with right sides facing each other. Leave a small opening at one end to turn it inside out.

Step 3: Turn Inside Out and Iron Flat

Once you have sewn all of the strips together, turn them inside out through the small opening. Then iron them flat with an iron.

Step 4: Sew Chain onto Trim

Take your chain and sew it onto one side of the trim using small stitches. Make sure that the chain is centered on the strip.

Step 5: Fold and Sew Edges

Fold both edges of the strip towards each other and sew them together with small stitches. Make sure that you are sewing through both layers of fabric so that they are secured together.

Your Chanel trim is now complete and ready to be used in any project you like! You can use it to embellish a jacket, purse, or even a pair of shoes. The possibilities are endless.

  • Choose a tweed fabric that matches your project.
