First, I wanted to try the ruffle tote. So I made two.
This one is for me.
The lining is my favorite Heirloom print.
The second one is for [name redacted]. The lining is actually purple in real life.
I made the flowers using Vanessa's Flower Corsage tutorial.
After making those, I had just enough fabric left to make a ruffle scarf.
Kindly excuse the weird self-portrait.
I had to fudge it a bit and cut my strips at 12 inches instead of 14, but it works just as well! Not bad for 1 yard of fabric!
The ruffle fabric is definitely a little different to work with. It's very stretchy, so cutting it accurately is hard. But that stretchiness also makes it very forgiving. If you can keep your ruffles out of your seams, you're in good shape. I'm interested to see how it holds up with use, but I'm happy for now, and I marked someone off my Christmas list!

cute katie. i think ruffle fabric is so great and super easy. did you make your ribbon flowers too?
How cute! Now I think I might need to get my hands on some of this fabric!
I had never heard of ruffle fabric. I have made quite a few ruffles myself for doll clothes!
These are just gorgeous, and so are the flowers. They look so professional.
I love it, Katie!
I have a yard of this fabric sitting on my shelf, but haven't gotten around to using it - but this is wonderful inspiration!
