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.

They're fascinating creatures. Nicely shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-visit-to-madame-tussauds.html
I could have watched them for hours, they truly are a delight to watch.
DeleteThis is amazing! They are so cute! Unfortunately is is too cold for them here. The local zoo has only animals that can live outside the whole year in our subarctic climate.
ReplyDeleteThat must be pretty limiting for the zoo. I do wonder how some of the animals at our zoo cope with the heat of our summer but they do seem very well cared for with private areas where they can go if they need to, I think they must have some climate control for a few species in the private areas.
DeleteYou have so many neat animals down there! Thanks for introducing us to them!
ReplyDeleteLemurs aren't locals - they are only viewable a the zoo and are a native species from Madagascar.
DeleteGreat shots Stella Lee!
ReplyDeleteAnd very educational post. I enjoyed it. :)
It was challenging to get shots of them through those leaves I can tell you. It was high noon on a bright day, they were in shadows and my 250mm lens zoom was pushed to it's very limits. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about the Lemurs.
DeleteToo cute! My son loves Lemurs! This would be a fun place to visit!! :):)
ReplyDeleteFor an extra fee you can have an upclose and personal experience right there on the island with the Lemurs. I bet your son would love that!
DeleteLovely photos! they are so cute, i find them kind of strange to look at too! #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteThey are a weird shape, not quite monkey, not quite bear, not quite like any critter really. A unique creature for sure.
DeleteThey do look fantastic. We love lemurs so we'll have to find a way to visit (we will do Perth one day as my sis lives there).
ReplyDeleteErica the Perth Zoo is one of the highlights of Perth. It's one of the best day trips of all the options IMHO. I've been to the Melbourne zoo and a few of the other animal sanctuaries in Australia and Perth Zoo is hands down the best.
DeleteOh these chaps are so adorable, I love Lemurs!
ReplyDeleteThey really are the cutest..until you see the claws on their paws. I wouldn't' want to run into one that was in a bad mood.
Deleteoh they are adorable, it breaks my heart to think of how many endangered animals there are and how many are already extinct. Just followed you on Twitter, lovely blog
ReplyDeleteIt surely is heartbreaking but there are happy stories too that our conservation efforts have saved some species and brought them back from the edge of extinction, lets continue to hope! I returned the twitter follow and I tried to follow you on gplus too, but I've hit my daily follow limit, please give me a nudge if I forget.
DeleteBoth our local zoos have lemurs and we all love them. In fact, after a visit to the zoo our younger son's first word after Mama and Dada was Leeemuuuurrrr!! Thanks for adding these lovely creatures to #AnimalTales ... still no hippos though ;)
ReplyDeleteOh that's so funny Rosie! I'm not sure I got any hippo pictures...maybe, just maybe.
Deletesadly most monkey sanctuary's contain Madagascan monkeys are they are a popular pet and are often rescued from airports where people try to smuggle them in
ReplyDeleteThat's just awful. At least the zoo's can take them and give them any medical care they need after the trials they would experience at the hands of smugglers.
