wish there was a demonstration instead of directions only. Still dont understand. Can you do a demo video on this please?
This is perfect timing since I’m just about to add ruffles to a dress, and I was going to just wing it!
So helpful and clear! Ruffles on everything now!!
ENJOYED ... very simple and to the point ... FIESTA🪅
The drawings were really helpful on how to draught the frill.It would have been great if you'd have shown how you fitted the ruffle rather than just using written instructions.
A bit disappointed this ended with a ton of written steps only.
i usually enjoy watching your videos but this one is hard becuz you are not talking us through it. Reading the instructions or subtitles while trying to watch what you are showing is much harder than listening while watching what you are doing. I realize i have a learning disability but I prefer it when you verbally explain what they are doing. Anyway thanx for all the videos that have been offered... they have been very helpful because you and your partner are usually so clear and easy to understand and follow.
That's great feedback, thank you! This is an older video, and in our newer ones we try to show as well as tell, versus just listing the steps as we've done for a portion of this video.
Do you end up sewing together the curvy area so as to not show inside of fabric in ruffle?
You fold the fabric lengthwise and baste along the curved edges with the fabric wrong sides together, and then gather the basting stitches. That way only the right side of the fabric is exposed on both sides of the ruffle, the inside doesn't show. Hope that helps!
@@SeamworkVideo I will try this. This is how the pattern sort of describe it. Showing the fabric with wrong sides together. I imagine this is done to both sleeves. Thanks
I understand the concept of folding over so the fabric is exposed on both sides, but in the description in the video (or maybe I'm supposed to know this), it does not explain that when basting on the curved sides, you need to get rid of that raw edge first. I have trouble understanding the way the people, who make patterns like McCalls and Vogue, etc., explain the instructions. I usually sew to forget my problems and distract myself as it helps me relax. If I have time, I will do a video on how to muffle with the ruffle fabric after the pattern has been created. Thank you. I want to explain how I really misunderstood the instructions on a doll dress that has the ruffles placed on an apron style dress with straps. It should've been easy. It took me 24 hours later to figure the ruffle out. So it said upper and lower ruffle, well I did your style of double layer ruffle but it didn't call for that. It was exposing the inside of the fabric and, yes, it was sewing along the curvy edge. I didn't do that either -- I sewed the basting for pulling the thread and gathering on the straight edge of the fabric as I had been accustomed for so many things like ruffles on skirts. Well, after I attached it to the strap, I realized that I followed the instructions wrong and I did have to baste on curve side and gather on curvy side. Ugh, the ruffle is still on the doll dress with the gathering on the straight edge and it looks nice but I wish I would've followed the instructions. Instead of taking the upper and lower ruffle and uniting them, I needed to attach individual "upper" and "lower" ruffle and so what if the inside of fabric showed. I know better now.
