How do you add a ruffle?

Publish date: 2022-09-14
Cut a strip or strips of fabric to sew together to make the length you need for the desired amount of ruffle. Once you have a strip long enough, add 1 inch (for seam allowances), then cut the strip and sew it into a loop, right sides together, matching short ends.

Also to know is, how much extra fabric do I need for ruffle?

You'll need to make a ruffle that's two to three times the length than the area to which you're attaching it. Allowing 2.5 times will usually give you a desirable ruffle, but three times is a best practice just to be sure. A very heavy fabric may require less length. A very thin fabric may require more length.

Subsequently, question is, how do you calculate ruffles? Take your total ruffle cut length and divide by the usable width of your fabric, which here is 41″. Many times you'll end up with an odd amount. Always round UP to the nearest half. For this example, we'll cut 13 and a half strips of the fabric, or rather 14 strips.

    • How many yards of fabric do I need to make a circle skirt?

    * 60-inch wide fabric works best. Depending on your waist size and the length of your skirt you can cut an entire circle using 60-inch wide fabric. My circle pattern just barely made it and took about 1 1/2 yards of fabric (I purchased 2 yards just to be safe).
