In the links from that episode, Lori lists a link for ruffled fabric from - get this - Ruffle Fabric dot com. As well as a tutorial for making your own ruffle skirt. Of course I was smitten - and it didn't hurt that Carolyn made a ruffle skirt (scroll down).
Ruffle Fabric was lovely to deal with and a joy. I will order from them again.
The one thing I didn't know when I ordered the fabric was that the ruffles run perpendicular to the selvedge edge - I thought they would run parrallel - so I ordered 2 yards of each color - but really only needed one yard of each to reach my knees.
I bought a fun polka dot ruffle for the brown ruffle fabric and I bought a lovely lavendar for the grey. But as I still had far more fabric than I needed but only bought enough elastic for 2 skirts - I bought wider black elastic at J's for more skirts.
The two skirts shown here will be boxed up this weekend and shipped off to non-sewing friends who need a little ruffle in their life.
Cute skirts! Your friends will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea someone manufactured Ruffled Fabric.
That is sooooo friggin' cute! I'd like a cardi in fabric to match the polka dot ribbon. I'm off to shop...
ReplyDeleteThose are cute. I know the recipients will like them.
ReplyDeleteI bought a micro pleated poly recently for summer dresses, and the pleats ran selvage to selvage instead of parallel, so I got 2 yards and only needed about 2/3. Want some?
Who knew they made ruffled fabric! How cute. I love ruffles, but that would look awful on me so maybe for the nieces.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I love the polka dots on the one skirt.
