I am officially 'ruffled' out!
These are Christmas presents for my little nieces. They are the same as the Christmas Twirl Skirt that I posted about HERE.
One of the skirts is for Niece M, who does NOT wear pink. So, hers is blue and green.
The set is for Nieces A & G. They are sisters and they love pink!
I am really struggling with wanting to do applique tshirts to go with the skirts but I fear I am running out of time. I have other projects I need to finish also. SO I may do hair accessories with the scrap fabric instead.
One thing I DID do, after I finished the Christmas Twirl Skirt, was purchase a 'gathering foot' for my machine. It looks like this:
I am in love! While it is not perfect (I still had to adjust all those ruffles to length) it really saved me a LOT of time. I am suppose to be able to sew the ruffle to the flat piece at the same time but I did not trust my fabric lengths enough to go for it. Someday?!?!
Have you worked with a Gathering Foot and had success??

Those are so cute! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI STILL have to buy a gathering foot. I hate doing it by hand. I have the ruffler foot on my serger, though, and it is a lifesaver!
this turned out great I'd love you to add this to my What We Wore and Made Party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com/search/label/WWWMW
