I'm participating in Cielo's Ruffle Love in Show Off Your Cottage Monday so visit with all the participants.
I decided I wanted some ruffles on something. Can you guess what it is? First, I ripped 4" strips from 3 yards of fabric. That gave me a lot to gather with the ruffler. I ended up with over 16 yards of ruffles.
Just before ruffling.

After ruffling. LOTS of ruffles.
I have more than enough for this project and several yards left for crafting or other projects.
Just pinned on here to start sewing. Surely you've guessed by now.
If you guessed they were for the new curtains I made, you're correct. I love the white polka dots on white; plus the ruffle truly does add to the overall effect of the curtains.
Now if I can just wait for the new white slipcover!

Hey Honey. That is a lot of ruffling and a of work. Do you do it with a special foot on your machine or by sewing basting stitches (the only way I know). Whew, it's wearing me out just looking at it. But oh' how pretty you curtains look all frou froued up! I love the white polka dot fabric. And boy wouldn't I like to play in that fabric stash in the background.
ReplyDeleteWell, I best go to bed, I'm beat! Get some well deserved rest after all that ruffling.
Nite-Nite...Tracy :)
P.S. I forgot to send you my address. I'll email you Sweetie. Thanks again!
What energy you have Connie....ruffling isnt the easiest of things to do. They look very dainty and pretty.
ReplyDeleteoooooooooohhhh...how pretty!! Good job!

Did you do all those ruffles by hand... what is a "ruffler"?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty girlfriend, and those new slipcovers will really complete the look...
ReplyDeletehugs, glenda
Oh boy would I like to have a ruffler. I am still doing things the old fashioned way.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the slipcover!
I love ruffles, lace, pink, etc. You've done a great job and it looks beautiful!. Are you going to make your slipcovers or buying them? They're hard to make, but I bet you can do it!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie
ReplyDeleteThat finishes off the curtains nicely...love the fabric for the ruffles.
Now I'll have to come back to check up on the slicover for the sofa.
Hope you are having a great weekend.

Hi Connieness! Oh, my that's a lot of ruffles! Do you have a ruffle attachment for your sewing machine! I had one once and was making ruffles for a special dress for my daughter and burned that sucker up! :)
ReplyDeleteI do like the polka dots with your new curtains! And white slip covers? Oooh, I think more prettiness is coming to your house.
Thanks for popping in to see my very olden kitchen. Now I would be so honored if you did something like me! You're the best.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

ReplyDeleteHugs, Diane
Your curtain is lovely, but I was sure the ruffles were going on a skirt for you!
ReplyDeleteSherry @ A Happy Valentine
woo hooness...i love ruffles, too. I am so into burlap, I think I'll make something with burlap ruffles...wonder what? And, wonder how to make a ruffle? I remember doing one in Home Ec. in high school using a long basting thread. Good grief, that sounds like a LOT of work.
ReplyDeleteI do love your pretty curtains!!
Oh I love this! YOu have inspired me. I have the perfect place to make some ruffled curtains....I need to start making ruffles! Lots of them! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hi Connie - Love your new ruffled curtains. Ruffles are so in right now, and I would love to learn how to sew them too, especially as a tablecloth. I just have no talent :(
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SOYCM.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful ruffles. I love your curtains. So girly.

I like it!! The ruffles will look great with your new white slipcovers! I haven't used a ruffler in years, it was fun to make them, I always wondered how the ruffler was invented. I had the old time one, I wonder if they have a new invention these days.
ReplyDeleteKatherine
There is just nothin' better than loads and loads of ruffles.... LOVE them. And, you're right, they did add a lot to you already cute curtains....
