Date: 6/8/09 9:41 PM The childrens clothes and womens I see ruffles everywhere is great. I bought a ruffler foot. I love the peasant blouses and skirts that are in again. So much from the 50s and 60s are coming back. I like it. -- Edited on 6/18/09 8:49 PM -- ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

I think it should pleat well. I hope to make mt grandaughter a genuine Scottish tartan skirt some day since it is her mama's heritage. Thses plaids can be up and above $50 per yard for clan colours , so if anyone knows of a fabric place for this I would love to know. Other than shipping from Scotland of course. I am not really a ruffle diva myself--too old but it looks cute on the grandkids. It could also be use when doing ruffled draperies.------ It is common sense to take a method and try it.

Date: 6/10/09 7:31 AM I am not a huge fan of ruffles and very picky about outfits that have ruffles. I don't even like ruffles much on others.
So far, no ruffles in my closet and only a few patterns with ruffles that caught my eye. |
