My first ever attempt at shirring and it was surprisingly easy! One of those things that has always looked so daunting so I have steered clear of in the past, how silly of me.
This is going to be a summer top for the little one.
More loveliness here.
Yay Lou you gave that top a go - it's easy really eh.. - It's looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to learn how to do that! I love shirring as a waist band -- always seems so flattering. What kind of garment is this?
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic. Very clever. What a pretty little dress it's going to make.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! It at least appears a very difficult thing to do but you seem to have mastered it nicely for this garment.
ReplyDeleteWow - well done! I wouldn't even think of attempting that! Looks perfect Lou!
ReplyDeleteYou can really get on a roll with shirring - watch out its addictive. Can I ask did you handwind the elastic onto the bobbin or use your machine - I find my elastic snaps sometimes, someone told me to handwind the bobbin to avoid that - but it sounds so tedious!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't shirring fantastic. I gave it a go for the first time this year too... why didn't I try it earlier? I'm addicted!
