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.

Your Dorothea Maria Gown is beautiful! I like the lace you used on it. Taking creative projects ( and everything else) one step at a time is the only thing we can really do. It's just a bunch of little steps added up. Or that's what I try to tell myself, anyways! I have a dauntingly high number of UFOs.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read about your 'dauntingly high number of UFO's' I've estimated I have around 200 UFO's! The hard part is not starting anything new until I've worked through them all.
DeleteI have been saving that lace for years and I had always thought I would use it on an Eleanora di Toledo gown, but I love it paired with this wool.
Oh my! That's quite a few! I've had too many at some points but I eventually had to get rid of some UFOs (eternally unfinished! poor babies) due to a lack of space and storage. I've been trying really hard to work through my UFOs. It's challenging though. The beginning is the fun part ;)
DeleteYou're so right - the beginning IS the fun part. I didn't realise I had so many until I started to try and count them.
DeleteWow, "sew" much work! I have to do quick sewing projects, don't have the patience any more! But. I'm in awe of your work.
ReplyDeleteIt's so rewarding to finish a big project but I do like to do some quick ones to for instant gratification. It's funny how I don't have the patience to fix a hem on a work skirt but I'll happily sew a 5 meter hem on a costume, patience is relative I suppose.
