Here is another video from my YouTube channel. I'm trying to learn how to edit the video's so bare with me on this one. I'm enjoying it and it's addicting but also very tedious.
This video only shows how to sew a ruffle for the apron.
Here are some tips that I use when making a ruffle for anything.
Decide the width and always allow for the hem.
I usually make mine at least four inches wide.
Then decide the length by measuring the area you want to place a ruffle and then at least times it by half.
In other words if the bottom of my apron is 30 inches wide then the ruffle should be at least 45 inches wide. This is just easy to work with. You can always make it longer but if you double it....it becomes very hard to sew.
Next I always hem the ruffle first thing, before I sew the gathering stitches on the apron. Don't hem the sides until you sew it on the apron.
I'm working on another video showing the complete process of sewing an apron.
I will post it here when I finish and can get it on my channel. It's taking me a lot longer to edit then I thought. I've been working on it for about two weeks. I have to be careful because of my shoulder, so I have to take a lot of breaks. Plus I can only look at the screen for about two hours a day then I get sick of it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hugs,
Charlotte
