I've had the pattern for a little while but it's also in the Sewing Clothes Kids Love book - the Feliz dress.
She got the fabulous Kokka Snow White fabric at one of Amitie's sales a while back and we teamed it with the Michael Miller Ta Dot in teal - a perfect match.
There's also something 'frilling' going on.
I finally had a chance to use this fearsome looking attachment - the ruffler foot and boy am I impressed.
Mine is a snap on foot so was super-easy to attach and then after a couple of little practices away we went.
It makes lovely even gathers in a fraction of the time it takes to hand-draw them up.
It will definitely get lots more use in this dress-obsessed house.

Wonderful to find a tool that makes the job easier!

ReplyDeletefantastic fabric combo there. Love it. I am sitting here thinking that you are wishing you had this ruffle foot when you made all those bed spreads a while ago!

ReplyDeleteHello hello! I think we may have meet - yes I literally bumped into you and then your gorgeous girls at spotlight the other night! I commented on the dresses they were wearing and then I recognised them all when I was reading through your blog! What a small world! I'm loving that dress your making with such gorgeous ruffles (and nice to see blue in a girls dress!)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great - thanks for the info on the ruffle foot! What machine do you have - maybe I should hunt one down! Also love the crochet in the last post - would you believe tht I started one in the same yarn - but ont seem to have gauge and tink I will get lost in it!
ReplyDeletei love the vividness of the 'sew it together' blue ... and the two fabrics look so good together. i wouldn't even mind one for me!

Excellent foot - I didn't know there was such a thing, but now I want one! Love the fabric combo!
ReplyDeleteI just love the fabric combinations Karen. And, having spent a few HOURS trying to create a ruffle a few weeks ago, I'm terribly interested in this 'ruffler foot' gizmo. Well, not that ruffles are high on the priorities list in this house... but they WOULD BE if I could make them properly!
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous, I don't have the ruffling foot yet, but I *heart* my gathering foot ... Must add ruffle foot to list of "feet" to get no doubt :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric, MelB xox
Ah so that's the Feliz! Great job Karen :)
ReplyDeleteLoving all the ruffles! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is super impressive Karen, I love it!
