Ruffled Rug Tutorial

From there I just started sewing! I am super great at “short cuts” so I didn’t pre-ruffle my ruffles. I just tuck and gather as I go using my lines as a guide so things stay straight. But if you are a rule follower, go ahead and ruffle way, pin along the lines, and then sew.

I used approximately 4 yds of fabric, and cut my strips so that they were 4 yds long x 4 inches wide.

I sewed each line individually-finishing one square and then starting the next one with a seperate piece of fabric. Once I got to the center (that single vertical line) I ruffled the fabric down the center of the strip instead of the edge, using the line as my guide. That way, everything was filled in and looked finished.

Last, I went back through with a needle and thread and tacked down the ruffles at the corners and  a few spots along each line of ruffle of keep the ruffles in place.

And then she’s done! So cute and ruffle-y!

And just fantastic.

Thank you again, so much, for  these past 10 weeks. I have loved every project and have added so many projects  to my “to-make” list. The ladies I shared this season with are so very talented and inspiring.

Thank you and happy crafting to you all!
