Hi Everyone! In part 3 we're going to take a look at sewing with exposed elastics. Both flat and fold over elastic work well for this design element. It is functional as well as fashionable! 
Hi Everyone! This week we'll take a closer look at the ruching technique. This technique adds an amazing amount of visual interest to a design and the best part is, it's very easy to do!
Hi Everyone! This week we'll take a closer look at creating and working with pintucks. Pintucks are tiny pleats folded and stitched down on the fabric. They can be used horizontally or vertically in a given design. Often times they are used in groupings of three, as shown in the Boomerit Falls Dress, Steam Bib Top, and Roebuck Bay Skirt designs. They are a great way to add visual interest without any additional cost or materials. I love techniques like this!

When combined with elastic, it creates an adjustable fit for the garment. It can be used on a waistline, neckline, or sleeve. They are very easy to create and use!

Let's jump in and do some shirring with elastic thread...
Hi Everyone! This week we continue with a look at finishing the visible edges of these specialty fabrics. Depending on the fabric type, you may need to use an altered technique for the sleeve or skirt hem and possibly the neckline. It can be liberating to know that you can use an alternate fabric choice if you klnow the proper techniques or fabric treatment to make it work for the intended design.
