I knew that RUFFLES 2012 wouldn’t be complete without a free pattern and sew-a-long! Last time we did a sew-a-long it was so much fun to see your projects, your variations and hop over to your blogs and get to know you better! It was an all-around success! So here’s our second sew-a-long! Introducing:
This is an EASY project, but will also be fun for more experienced seamstresses! I wanted the sew-a-long project to be doable and fun for everyone! You’ll be able to practice your ruffling skills as well as learn about interfacing and bag construction. And you’ll have a cute little clutch when you’re finished!
Materials:
-1/4 yard cotton
-1/4 yard contrasting cotton
-1/4 yard lightweight fusible interfacing (I use Pellon)
-ruffler foot (not required)
-button and buttonhole foot (optional variation)
The free pattern will be posted on Friday! The link-up will open next Monday and continue until the end of April, so you have lots of time to link-up! I’ll feature YOUR clutches throughout the event!
Sign up for the sew along by leaving a comment below!
Leave your name and your blog if you have one. Any maybe what colors you might use!

Greetings from Germany. Enim Sou.
I would love to participate!! I am so ready to get back to blogging and sewing! I’m thinking a peacock inspired color palette would be lovely.

I’m in! I need to learn some sewing skills. My first thought was a grey with yellow ruffles. But that is subject to change when I get to the fabric store… :)

I so hope I can do this! Probably navy and yellow. I’ve had a “thing” for those together for a little bit.
I’m going to do this… if my sewing machine arrives in time! Just ordered my first ever sewing machine… that’s not my mom’s! :D

Cute! I don’t have a blog, but I’m going to try and sew along anyway! My version will definitely involve purple in some way.
I so hope I can. We just got to wisconsin and hope to have a house this week. :) I don’t know if its possible for me to pick colors ahead of time. Im a fabric store kind of decision maker : )
Never done ruffles, looking forward to learning new a skill and having a cute product in the end!

I would love to do this! I just finished a clutch but it apparently is missing ruffles! I have a red and white paisley on hand but I am liking your colors but maybe with a floral and stripe. :)
count me in plz :) i think i will be using black with white ruffle but that might change so dont know my self right now :)but am excited!
This will make me use my ruffler foot…I have done it without using the foot so we’ll see which one is easier or more convenient. :)
can’t wait!
i have NO idea what colors i’ll use…probably have pink in it and teal since those are my favorites right now :)

I will be following along for sure. I discovered ruffles last year and I have a ruffler foot and am not afraid to use it. I am a pretty bad blogger lately but I will try to do better.
I think I will join in the ruffle-y fun too. Not sure what fabric I will use though, but some blue and white beachy stripes are pushing to the front of the queue right now.

I’m in for RuffleMania’12 (hope you don’t mind that I nicknamed it).
not a big clutch fan (I like something more substantial), but I do love a bag…I’ll have to see what scraps and old linens I have on hand…most likely green will be in there somewhere…

It looks super cute! I’m new to sewing and have never made ruffles before, but I’m looking forward to it! You can find me at http://elvafisher.blogspot.ca/
I am a huge clutch fan and also a huge ruffles fan and you can soooo count me in this! Don´t know about the colour yet, maybe some polka dot fabric, white with red dots or purle with white dots?
I have a little blog, come and see: http://2cute2sew.blogspot.com
Having three daughters, I just love ruffles. I have a fair amount of stash but I do love grey with a blush pink. Or maybe a print. My ruffle foot will get a good work out!
would LOVE to join!
