 o
Elvis Suit

Posted by adrian_2007 (My Page) on

I am looking to make an Elvis suit. I want to make the white one with the fringes and beads on the front. Can anyone tell me where I can get the fringing with the beads on or do I need to get them separatley. The fringing is about 12 inches long I think.

Thanks

Adrian

Do you have a picture of the suit that you can post? Is it leather fringe? If it is, I think you can get the leather fringe at fabric stores or craft stores, then you can buy the beads separately and slide them on the fringe yourself. HTH

White microsuede won't fray at the edges. If you can't locate readymade fringe that long (I have never seen it and assume Elvis had his suit custom-made), make your own. Like Noinwi suggested, slide beads onto the fringe.

It will surely take some time to accomplish this ambitious project, make sure you have a sharp, new blade in your rotary cutter!

Post pictures when you're done so we can see it.
