I MADE THIS ONE MYSELF!!!!

It's Arrived!

Searching, searching, searching and I found it.

I've been wanting a ruffler /gathering foot to make life a little easier.

 I'm the "Make Do and Mend" kind but I've been gathering by hand since the age of 12.

I did my research -blog tutorials, video tutorials, compared brands -all the usual things.

 I decided that I didn't want one - I NEED one.

The Hunt Was On!

I have a fantastic sewing machine but the feet are VERY expensive 

and completely out of my price range. 

I knew that I needed a high shank foot rather than a low shank foot to fit my Bernina 

and that's where the challenge began. There are a variety of generic feet out there but not all of them will fit my specific machine.

When I ordered the ruffler foot from Amazon, I took a risk because the description named sewing machine brands but not specific makes. The photo looked like it would fit, the price was amazing (under 10 pounds)  and it could always be returned. 

The little box arrived from Taiwan on Monday and it perfectly.  

 I've had a little play and I think this sample is only just the beginning!

Fabric Heaven - Frida's Garden

I fell in love with this Frida Kahlo fabric by Alexander Henry last summer but I waited too long and by the time I was ready to buy it at my local fabric shop, it was gone. The shop owner said that they were waiting for more to come in so I waited too, but it still hasn't arrived. I finally managed to buy a it on-line but  it's so popular that I had to settle for just a little.

 I think I have enough to make a couple of cushions - it's almost too nice to cut!
