I found this gorgeous denim print in the clearance basket outside one of my favorite fabric shops in Jerusalem all crumbled up. I thought it would make a fabulous anna, and an even cooler frayed anna. Here it is being made into a stylish little dress.... (with instructions :supercool: )

Cut out your Anna peices (lining, main body print, shoulder straps and side ties), cutting two of your main print and two of your lining, in full length.

Sew the Anna together making sure that the right side of the under print ends up against the wrong side of the outer print. Make your shoulder straps the regular way, but with the right side of the lining fabric up against the wrong side of the main print.

Here is the back, I used a deeply dyed Japanese print so that both sides look good.

Make chalk marks along where you would like the fray to be.

Stitch along chalk marks.

Cut (carefully!) in between the stitching lines.

Make little cuts all along your stitch lines, be sure not to cut stitching!

Look at it out of he dryer, it gets better everytime it gets washed and dryed.

I have been wanting to try this technique for a long time, but just could not figure out where the PERFECT place to put it would be. I am thinking that you have found it.

Gorgeous! Thank you for the sewalong, I think I'll have to add it to my wanted list for Farbenmix. I guess I could apply it to a lined skirt too, Jordan would loooove that frayed look.
