Abstract
A method of decorating a fabric in which an elongate strip of fabric is sewed to a base fabric along a line spaced inwardly from the edge of the strip of fabric. The base fabric with strips sewed thereto is then washed in a washing machine so as to cause the edges of the strips of fabric outside of the line of stitching to fray and to thus take on a decorative appearance. The invention also includes the fabric produced by this method with the strips of material being arranged in any desired decorative pattern on the base material.
