How to Sew on Feathers and Make Your Own Feather Trim

[@nechiwoods3356]

Great tutorial, I was able to use this when redoing my feathers for my Yennifer cosplay. So glad I did, now it’s looking great!

[@jaclynsmith160]

Great tutorial!! Love the no fuss, clear basic instructions. I've used your advice to make a Korowai (New Zealand Maori Cloak) for our playgroup graduation❤

[@thelmaseymour3562]

Jaclyn, I'm wanting take a korowai. Do you want to share how you made it up, side seams, attaching the taniko and how did you do the hem. I'm in Auckland. Thelma

Our Gumby who was an Amazon and was 39 passed away September 30, so unexpected and so so so hard on our hearts. We thought we would leave before her….I saved every feather she dropped and want to make a memorial garment….thank you so much for this video 💚#gumbyluvforever

[@jonathanpaullucas]

Thank you so much for this. I'm working on my first feather project now. If it comes out well....i'll share it, lol.

[@MatthewWoods80]

The tissue paper was a great base tip! Thank you for this helpful video!

[@marachime]

Thank you so much for making this. This was really easy to follow and I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of it

[@lucehleblanc]

I'm making a feathered Victorian mantle! How did that cowl turn out?

[@LyoNHal]

i'm going to make a falin cosplay, so your tutorial was very helpful. thank you very much!

[@rosieandersen8348]

Fantastic delivery and demonstration! Thank you!

[@mymai2792]

Brilliant tutorial. You are a skilled instructor. Cheers

[@bekkieokie]

Wow, I have so many feathers, now I will have to start gathering them. I have also peacock, with their beautiful blue neck feathers.

[@farizashar3600]

Rebecca Miller wow.. how lucky u r.. peacock feathers are beautiful.. it's lovely.. very expensive here.. :(

[@gentidrini]

@@farizashar3600 omg what?? I bought 36 feathers for 24 cents, and not even that: my cousins grandpa owns a restaurant and they have a lot of chickens so yeaaah

[@pardathenewarmyyang2828]

Wow you so lucky I love feathers they are so pretty

[@trandaweekes2872]

@@gentidrini can you please tell me where can I purchase hun?. In need of them asap

[@robynjansen9031]

Actually feathers are quite resilient. If they are twisted or bent you csn use a hot flat iron to straighten them out

[@andjayehsgaeswy]

This is incredible. Thank you so much !

[@katharine557]

Great tutorial! I was wondering; when you showed how to layer the feather trim, how do you hide your last layer's ribbon? You were seeing on the "right" side correct? Thanks!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+Katharine Tool if you don't want to see the decorative ribbon you could always sew on another trim over it or hand sew on some feathers to cover it.

[@thelmaseymour3562]

I am wanting to make a cloak. I dont want the backing showing. I want to line the cloak. I am going to attach a 2inch braid at the top. Would you suggest a normal seam sewing over the feathers when attaching the lining? Thelma

[@eclectiyan9704]

Thank you for the informational video♥️

[@astrozambie7599]

Is it safe for the needle to sew over the hard feather tips?

[@mereannaflorarukatimu6016]

Awesome information,I am sewing a garment of feathers that are on a trim and having trouble with my thread breaking,top and bobbin do I need a thicker thread ,I am using a bigger needle.

[@absunshine6906]

Where can I purchase the feather trim. I don't see a Link. Others are asking the same question.

[@Agilosi]

How do you purchase the already layered blue feathers?

[@SALLYDATCURL1]

Hello where do you get these beautiful feathers from?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I got these from Mood Fabrics I believe

[@cianicholls5667]

Can you use a sewing machine to sew feathers on insted of by hand?

[@1746darkness]

wonderful! this tutorial is very helpful.

[@stvnixrcks]

When sewing over the clear tape, how did your needle not get gummed up?

[@sislertx]

I'm not sure but I have seen a low tack sewing tape a good sewing stores...maybe she used that? amazon probably or maybe Hancock's online.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+stvnixrcks yes, you can use as @sislertx suggested and use a sewing tape. I used a clear tape that wasn't very sticky at all. Also, dab a little bit of sewer's aid on the needle and this will help too. :)

[@LarnieRadek]

How would I go about making a fringe trim if I had a lot of loose strands of fringing handy?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+LarnieRadek I would do this same process although fringe individually is really thin so I would imagine it would be a little trickier.

[@BrianOfGaga]

This help me so much thanksss

[@PatchOpossum]

nice this really helped! i'm making a realistic albino utahraptor costume

[@emeseszigeti4892]

Can I use hairspray to my feathers? :'D

[@shantzcollymore9110]

Awesome tutorial... 2 quick questions 1) How many feathers on average should I use to make a trim that's about 12 inches in length? 2) do you have any links for wholesale feather purchases?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+Shantz Collymore it really depends on how big your feathers are and how thick you want it. For 12" you'll probably use at least 30 but you can buy always buy a bag of cheap feathers at the local craft store just to experiment with. I haven't purchased feathers wholesale so sorry I don't have a recommendation on this.

[@user-ov4wu7dw5i]

Can you tell me what type of feathers were the blue feathers that you used? Thank you!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

these are the feathers I used www.moodfabrics.com/5-turquoise-feather-fringe-24043.html

[@user-ov4wu7dw5i]

Professor Pincushion Thank you!

How to wash in this type Feather cloth? Dry wash process From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@sarahkathryn102]

I want to add feathers to a silk romper I'm making for a fashion show. Would I sew them directly to the garment or on a separate piece of fabric and then sew that onto the garment?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I would sew the feathers on a separate fabric like a ribbon and then sew them on to the garment but you can really do it either way.

[@egutierrez0725]

I had a question to ask you I can use fabric glue instead of the tape to glue the feathers

[@ProfessorPincushion]

maybe it test it on a sample and see if it works. I've had pretty good luck with beacon fabric glue so I'm thinking it'll be fine, it might just be a little more messy than tape. :)

[@egutierrez0725]

Professor Pincushion thank you so much

[@egutierrez0725]

Professor Pincushion by the way thank you for this tutorial buying already made feather trim get pretty pricey

[@marysmith6037]

How do you finish the top on the skirt

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Well, if you want there to be feathers, you can hand sew them on top of the ribbon or just have the decorative ribbon showing.

[@ivygoliath4038]

Yesss! Perfect for my planned fursuit :3

[@thoushallrockhard]

hi, great video! what kind of tissue paper and tape did you use? thankyou :)

[@ProfessorPincushion]

it's just regular stuff I picked up at my local dollar store, nothing fancy :)

[@mereannaflorarukatimu6016]

Thread breaking, I forgot to add that my feathers have been glued and sewn onto trim and have just started using fingernail polish remover on the needle every time I have to re thread.Is this okay?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Hmm....as long as you let the needle dry completely before sewing, I think it should be ok. You also might want to adjust your thread tension.

[@basketMe97]

Where did you get those feathers are they real? Are animals hurt because of this?

[@lungien8481]

whats the black elastic you using?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

that's not elastic. it's just ribbon

[@niahabeeb-ullah3218]

can you sew on multiple feathers individually with a sewing machine?

[@niahabeeb-ullah3218]

...to sew a feather sleeve?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

if you use a wide zig zag stitch you can probably sew on a few feathers at once but you'll have to experiment with your machine to see what you can get away with

[@baibando7427]

😱You just saved my Mardigras.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

yay! :D

[@shynobishinzo]

Would this method work for creating an entire cloak of feathers?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

it might be really pricey and fragile but should work :)

[@perrymackay8725]

I'm just trying to find a way to put peacock feathers on a dress without sewing cuz I'm horrible at sewing

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+perry mackay hmmm...you can try using fabric glue. I like using the beacon brand. It works pretty well for me but I've never tried it for feathers. worth a shot though

[@perrymackay8725]

+Professor Pincushion ok thanks

[@jeanettewilson7510]

glue them, I made several hatbands with super glue
