Fraying the bottom of a skirt?

Question

I have this mini skirt that I bought from Old Navy, that I love.I just cut the bottom trimming off so that I can refray it.The last natural fray got too sloppy.Any ideas on how to fray it myself?Thanks!!!

Answer 1

For fraying the hem, you can use a razor that you might use to shave your legs. Just gently run it along the bottom, making short, quick strokes. Don't do it too hard though, or else you may end up with a rip in your skirt. If you use this method, BE CAREFUL and be sure to make your strokes go away from your body. Another way is to use a cheese grater. This works on both hems and the rest of the skir tif you'd like to distress it on the pockets or the thigh or the butt area. Above all, be careful and good luck!

Answer 2

cut it, then wash and dry...it should fray then
