I wanted to learn to make ruffles, but darn it, it was October so I had to make "scary" ruffles. I did these fun little tea towels with some free designs and ruffles made with my ruffle foot.
Total cost: $2 including the cost of the towels
Time: 15-30 minutes per towel including making the ruffle
What I learned:
- Cut the ruffle fabric 2 1/2 times the length of the item you want to attach it to. If you aren't sure how tight your ruffle will be - cut long and adjust at the end.
- You can change the tightness of the ruffle on the ruffle foot and re-ruffle the same fabric a number of times until it is as tight, and the length, that you want.
- Attach the ruffle right sides together so that the seem is automatically hidden.
