Today’s sewing tip is a ruffle tutorial.
How do you sew ruffle’s? Do you use the classic version with two threads or do you sew ruffle’s with the help of an elastic band?
We show you today both versions and some tips and tricks.
We hope we can help you if this is the first time for you sewing ruffles, if you struggled before or if you just want to try another method.
Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hej Ines!
Thank you for your message and comment! 🙂
You sew the second basting stitch 1 cm away from the edge, if you then sew the peplum on the top piece with a sewing allowance of 0,7 you can see the basting stitch, that’s why I remove it.
If you are sewing with a sewing machine you can also adjust the sewing allowance when sewing the peplum / ruffled piece on the other piece to about 1,1 cm so that you cant see the second basting stitch and don´t need to remove it.
I hope I could help you and it’s a bit more clear now!
Have a nice day!
Best wishes,
Maira
