    Oh Shauna, I need your help! I am trying to do the cascading look with broadcloth and I don't understand how you go yours to lay so perfectly? Did you carefully iron each little ruffle?! I am recreating this look for a birthday dress for the little princess and my test runs aren't going as perfectly as I'd hope! Eek!

    Hi Shauna,<br /><br />Can you please assist me in getting this right the first time. I&#39;m making a wedding dress using the cascade ruffle. Can you please advise me on the placement of the ruffles. Obviously if I map them out there is a bigger gap on the bottom than on the top. Is this correct and do I just carry on like this &#39;till the ful skirt is mapped out. Help please!!!!

    OH WOW!! Can I say I love you?!?! I grew up in a house full of sewing. My mom owned her own factory at one point. This is all the stuff that I wish I had been able to see or learn from her while I had the chance, and you make it so easy to follow. Love love LOVE the work you&#39;re doing. Cheers!

    AHA! Thank you! I knew there was a way to get more ruffly ruffles! I just tried sewing a few sample shapes and couldn&#39;t get my head around it. Thanks for posting this, it&#39;s even clearer than I needed it to be, but I say this before I head back to my sewing machine- I&#39;m pinning to my pinterest just in case. I&#39;m adorning a onesie for my 5wk old daughter, and I&#39;ll post pics at

    Hi my cousin has gotten me into sewing her wedding dress and I have most of the dress figured out except the bottom portion. Your post on ruffles has helped tremendously but I wanted your input on how I should tackle the ruffles that are on this dress: http://dressfashion.deviantart.com/art/Organza-Mermaid-One-Shoulder-With-Embroidery-Flowe-365372760

I am making a Quinceanera dress and shw wants cassiding ruffles from waist down……I have not found any site to help with that info…..found this tutorial and was saying thank you for direction! But still had questions on evening wear……any help would be appreciated

    Hi! Great ruffle techniques. How would you handle placing a ruffle under the skirt so it “peeks” out from under the skirt? I’m floundering –how to handle the skirt raw edge and the ruffle raw edge and not have a bunch of sewing lines across the good side of the skirt? Ugh. I know it’s simple…but it’s not coming to me. 🙂
