How to Gather Large Amounts of Fabric

August 21, 2016 | 1 Comment

I won't go back to gathering when I sew any other way. My new favorite way how to gather large amounts of fabric for any sewing project larger than sleeves.

When you first learn how to gather you usually learn to do basting stitches and pull them. And even if you do two rows, and are super careful, threads still break. So frustrating! This cheater gathering technique is genius and makes gathering yards of even the heaviest fabrics a cinch. It’s my go to method for gathering skirts for dresses, costumes and even home decor projects! Pretty much anything larger than a puffy sleeves get’s this gathering method in my book.

Learn how to gather with this easy trick!

    I HAVE BEEN SEWING, KNITTING AND CROCHETING SINCE i WAS A CHILD. i LEARNED HOW TO READ PATTERNS FOR SEWING IN school. i TOOK SEWING EVERY YEAR IN SCHOOL STARTING IN THE 6TH GRADE. IT WAS MANDATORY BACK THEN. . bUT i LOVED EVERY MOMENT. mY MOM ALSO WAS MY OTHER SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

    i AM ORIGINALLY FROM wATERTOWN, ma. (jUST 8 MILES WEST OF Boston). i MOVED TO THE San Francisco bAY aREA. in 1986. On a personal note. I am a twin to my sister and I married a Twin who was a brother to his twin Sister We have two beautiful Children. They are a girl and a boy but they are now adults. And my daughter is married and has two little girls. But so far no twins.Fraternal Twins run in family’s. and they skip a generation. Unfortunately Twin marriages do not always last and we parted company after the kids were born.
