Sensational Shirring Talking Pattern Booklet - Printed
Sensational Shirring Talking Pattern™ Booklet - Printed
Shirring (or Ruching) adds interest and lovely, figure-flattering detail to any garment. It's EZ and fun to make changes to a basic knit top pattern you already own using flat pattern techniques to yield the extra length needed for effective shirring. Inside, you'll find THREE totally different designs, and varied shirring techniques that will guide you in creative fun as you add pizazz to that all-important knit top wardrobe to take you most anywhere...in style!NO PATTERN PIECES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS 'PATTERN' BOOKLET
ONLINE, you will find the additional value of being able to SEE large, clear color photos and HEAR my personally recorded audio directions for each step!Notions and Fabrics
