Italian sewing terms - translation help please
Kayseri   Intermediate NEW ZEALAND Member since 4/21/09 Posts: 251	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/3/11 10:14 PM Hi, I'm working on a La Mia Boutique pattern for the 1st time (June 2011, top 617) and I don't know any Italian :) Can I have some help translating a couple of the terms on the pattern peices: arricciare (on a dashed line parrallel to a curved seam line on peice 3) * google suggests curl, pucker or crinkle. In context it could be either stretch or gather, but I need to know which. It doesn't look gathered on the illustration. Molleggiare leggermente(on a dashed line parrallel to the seam line on all the ruffle peices) * google suggests "slightly springy", from the illustration I think they mean gather slightly. Thanks for any clarrification you can provide.

To me it sounds like there's suppose to be a little ruffle that is soft. -- Edited on 11/3/11 10:54 PM -- -- Edited on 11/3/11 10:57 PM -- ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.
