Certificate Module 5 Chapter 6: Tucks, Pleats and Gathers, Day 15

Today's sample shows a narrow strip of shirring, where the two long sides opposite each other are each gathered and pulled up.  The strip is then stitched between two plain strips.

5.6.4

I thought this sample reminded me of a tree trunk and could be used to depict this.

    What a great idea Catherine to insert the strip between "plain" fabric. It really does remind me of a tree trunk. This lesson is fun, isn't it, although a long one to achieve

    I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I found the book "The Art of Manipulating Fabric" by Colette Wolff was a very useful one.
