Save time and keep your ruffles
looking perky with this easy elastic method:
- Measure the finished ruffle length and cut a 1/4"- or
3/8"-wide clear elastic piece the same length.
- Divide and pin-mark the elastic and ruffle length into eighths.
- Pin the elastic along the ruffle wrong side seam allowance,
matching markings. Using a narrow zigzag and stretching the elastic to fit the ruffle
length, stitch the elastic in place along the seamline.
- When joining the ruffle to the skirt, divide the ruffle and the
skirt into quarters and match the markings for even fullness. If the ruffle isn't exactly
the same length, ease in the extra length.
