All Ruffled Up

I just finished working on a very cute linen slipcover. The client chose two shades of linen from this wonderful online store. She asked me if I could put ruffles on the cushions in place of cording. The fabric was lightweight enough for me to use my ruffler attachment. If you don't have one you should really consider getting one. I'm pretty sure they make them for most brands of sewing machines.




You can adjust the size and frequency of the tuck which will regulate the fullness of your ruffle. They are fun to use.




I usually make the ruffle and then sew it on to the main fabric.




But you can actually do both steps at once. It almost seems too easy doesn't it?

The sofa was a rose color before, so what a dramatic difference. I love when I get to do work for this very nice lady. She is very artistic and always making inspiring changes to her home. She let me take some pictures in her backyard studio where she does papercrafts. My photos really don't do it justice, but I will post them in a day or two.
