Ruffler Foot Made Sew Easy It's Hands Free!

If you've ever used a ruffler foot you will know you need to guide your fabric carefully.

I've been making a Victorian Gown. That means lots of ruffley goodness. I have about 150 meters of ribbon I'm using on this project most of which I've been pleating using my sewing machines ruffler foot. 
Carefully guiding that much yardage through would drive me insane!

I needed a way to make it easy and fast without needing a lot of concentration.

I needed to automate guiding that ribbon through.

It's so easy and simple and effective I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

It's the little things that all add up to make us our unique selves; likes, dislikes, personality traits, things we own, skills we have. Here's some of my quirks.
  1. The only cooked fruit I like is granny smith apples.
  2. I believe jam ruins everything.
  3. I'm stubborn.
  4. I have a four-poster bed.
  5. Cordial is fine, so long as it's lemon or lime flavoured.
  6. I have an unreasonable amount of costume jewellery.
  7. I have only discovered the tastiness that is chorizo in the last few months
  8. I actually put up the Christmas decorations on 1st of December this year. This is big, the decorations haven't been up for several years. 
  9. I have yet to bake cookies that could truly be considered a success. 
  10. Ada likes to sit on top of laundry straight out of the drier and I will use it as an excuse not to fold the laundry.

    Great post! I love your excuse not to fold laundry. Mine is.. I hate folding laundry. So I don't. One of my biggest things that is me. I have a huge callus on my thumb that I've had since I had a baby blanket. I rub it and chew it when I'm nervous or anxious which is every time I'm out in the public. My husband can't stand it. :)

      What a cute little quirk you have. I love your laundry excuse, I might just start using it when Ada isn't around.

    There is no such thing as too much jewelry, costume or otherwise! I don't fold the laundry because I have a king sized bed, I'm the only person in it 95% of the time, so it becomes a big laundry basket.

      I used to believe you couldn't have too much jewellery. I really did. But when I realised I needed more then 3 shelves (loooonnng shelves) I started to question if maybe I'm wrong. I love your laundry storage system. I'd have to get a second bed to be able to use it though. I think you could totally market that as a think 'King size laundry basket!' Awesome idea. :D
