I am just messing around with a Kwik Sew pattern (3120). I can't decide if I like all of these ruffles or not. After I gathered 1 inch wide strips of knit, I applied them in 3 rows with a zigzag stitch. Before I pressed them with a steam iron, they were way too fluffy for me. My 15 yo daughter says that this is a cute top but it reminds here of a clown ruff. I am thinking that is a weanie bit rough for a reasonably cute top. I used the June Tailor Shape Cut to make the strips. You can slide this strip cutter across the length of fabric and make a variety of strip sizes. It is a whole lot morestable to use than a ruler and rotary cutter. Monday, July 11, 2011

ReplyDeleteI like it! The ruffles and placement are very tasteful. I don't identify as a ruffly person, but they've been growing on me...
