sewing 101: how to make a ruffle (and RUFFLES 2013!)

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

RUFFLES 2013 starts on Monday! Like THIS Monday! I’m so so excited! If you’ve been around here for a while you may have caught Ruffles 2012 or even 2011, but if not, RUFFLES is my yearly event where we sew ruffles on everything for a few weeks.  Because, why not? I have a great line-up of guests, with my own tutorials thrown in there are some exciting things to share. (Oh and some fabric giveaways! And a free pattern/sew-a-long!)

So anyways, before the ruffle event starts, let’s review how to make a ruffle.

This is a very basic tutorial for gathering a strip of fabric into a ruffle. You can start with any size piece of fabric to create different sized ruffles
