Brown checked ruffle – 6 cm high

BROWN CHECKS FOR A COUNTRY-STYLE LOOK

A checked border instantly adds character to a simple fabric. This ruffle combines brown and light-coloured checks with soft gathers and a fine, dark brown edge. The translucent fabric keeps the overall look light, while the classic pattern suits country, vintage and nostalgic interiors.
Use the ruffle along a kitchen curtain, a Bonne Femme curtain or as a decorative border on a cushion or tablecloth. Its 6 cm height adds a noticeable detail without covering a large part of the main fabric.

COMBINING COLOUR AND NATURAL MATERIALS

The brown checks work beautifully alongside plain fabrics in white, ecru or sandy shades. Combine them with wood, wicker and linen textures for a calm, warm look. Repeat the brown in another accessory if you would like to connect the different elements of your interior.
This ruffle also works as a textile accent in an interior featuring Decoration Paint Old White, Cyprus White or Umber Brown. Ideally, compare the fabric and paint colour together in the light of your own room.

GIVE EXISTING TEXTILES A SECOND LIFE

A new border can transform a simple curtain or an existing cushion cover. This ruffle is ideal for refreshing usable textiles and adding a personal detail.
Before sewing, check that the existing fabric is still strong enough and that the materials can be washed together. Cotton and linen may shrink during washing. Bear this in mind before joining different fabrics and make a test piece first if you are unsure.

ALREADY GATHERED AND READY TO SEW

The ruffle is supplied already gathered. There is no need to gather the fabric yourself or order extra length to create the gathers. A narrow, flat attachment strip on the back holds the gathered fabric in place.
For a neat finish, sew along the existing stitching as closely as possible. The cut ends still need finishing to prevent fraying. With your purchase, we provide relevant information on attaching and finishing the ruffle.

HOW MUCH RUFFLE DO YOU NEED?

For a straight fabric edge, you generally need the same length of ruffle as the edge you want to trim. If that edge is 1.50 metres long, use 1.50 metres of ruffle as your starting point. No additional length is needed for the gathers. Do take your chosen method of finishing the ends into account.
The total height is 6 cm, including the attachment section. For this product, this height is the fixed width referred to in the ordering information. You choose the length you need.
