New Toy

This week was the Cincinnati sewing expo and even though you would think there would be nothing I could possible need (especially if you looked at my sewing room) there were a couple things I need as I do those style show garments.

Two of the skirts will have ruffles at the hemline, another will have ruched vertical strips, and yet another will have a pleated "ruffle" at the hemline.  That's lots of gathering ... not my favorite activity.

So taking advantage of an expo special at my favorite sewing store (Kramer's/Montgomery) I got the ruffler attachment for my Janome 6600P.

So far I've had fun playing with fabric strips and now will not dread those miles and miles (I know it will feel that way) of ruffles.
