If the main fabric is not enough, and there is no suitable material either, you can still make a slanting inlay from small shreds. And you do not have to grind a lot of short strings into one long.
You will need:
- A flap of tissue 10x10 cm in size (you can use smaller tissue residues);
- Ruler;
- Marker for fabric or tailor's chalk;
- Tailor's scissors;
- Device for forming a slanting inlay;
- Needles and thread for sewing;
- Sewing machine
