Sewing Trick: Horsehair Braids

From Gertie's Blog For Better Sewing. Horsehair braid used in the hemline.

Gertie has a tutorial on how she made the hemline using the horsehair braid.

Horsehair Braid

I recently came across this sewing blog which gave tips on using horse hair braids to help support and structure necklines and hems.

So far I've only used the horsehair braids to structure bows for belts like the below:

A large stiff satin bow for the lace dress.

Scrunched and sewn through in the middle.

Using a narrower horsehair braid, I'd created a smaller bow.
