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.

Onion Flower

An onion flower just about to bloom

Yesterday we were without electricity for most of the day.  Now that we've got some of our luxuries back, like hot water and digital devices that actually do fancy things instead of looking like a dull brick, my day has been full with catching up on stuff like doing the dishes, and having lots of fun filling my Pinterest boards with all the awesome stuff my bloggy friends have shared at Pinbellish.

Which means I'm a bit short on time for writing today, so instead of blathering on and on I am sharing with you the beauty of a simple onion flower.

from a tight ball to an unfurled shining beauty the onion flower is full of suprises

An onion flower is made of lots of tiny flowers

An onion flower is so like the onion itself, as you peal back the layers, there is another.

  3. They are incredibly beautiful! I'm not a fan of onions - it's a texture thing - but I do appreciate them when they are being grown. Thank you for sharing with us at Photo Friday!

    1. Not like onions? Such a shame. I'm a huge fan and they form the base for much of my cooking.
