Here is a needle tatted trim that you can add/attach to anything you like. I was inspired to make this tatted trim when I found the adorable small linen bag that appears in the photos and video below, at a farmers’ market. Loved the hand-dyed indigo, simple lines, and function. In Part 1 of the video, I’ll show how-to make the tatted trim. In Part 2 of the video series (coming soon!), I will show how-to hand sew the finished tatted trim onto the linen fabric bag. This project is great for beginners and veteran tatters. Free pattern on screen during video and below the video. Hope you enjoy! - Katy

Hand sew finished tatting onto fabric if desired, using matching sewing thread and all-purpose sewing needle (see below for directions).

Attaching Trim to fabric:

To hand stitch tatting to fabric (use photos below for reference), insert needle and thread from back of tatting, pull thread and needle through (as seen in 1st photo). Then insert needle and thread into fabric next to tatting (as seen in 2nd photo). Repeat, moving along tatted trim, roughly 1/4” between each stitch (or as desired) along tatting, until tatting is secured. Double knot and cut thread tails. Iron as desired.
