Pleated
ruffles can be soft and fluffy or pressed flat for a more tailored look. There are tools for pleating ruffles, but most
often you will pleat the ruffle by hand, creating a knife, or box pleat along a
strip of fabric. Hand pleating allows
for more variety in size and shape, and is easy to do. Create even more texture by manipulating the
basic pleated ruffle into origami inspired textures.
Not
sure how you would use pleated ruffles?
Here are some ideas! Add a cute
gingham ruffle along the hem jeans, around a tote bag, down the front of a
sweater or jacket, on pillows, slipcovers and curtains.
You
can make pleated ruffles from just about any fabric: cotton, silk, burlap,
linen, fleece or wool or ribbon. You
will be amazed at the different textures and styles that you can create!
