Orange checked ruffle – 6 cm high

ORANGE CHECKS AS A COLOURFUL DETAIL

A small trim can make a big difference. This ruffle combines a fresh orange-and-white checked pattern with soft gathers. The fine, translucent fabric creates a light, airy finish. It looks lovely along a kitchen curtain, a Bonne Femme curtain or as a playful border on a cushion.
Orange adds a warm touch of colour. Combine the ruffle with white or ecru for a calm backdrop, or repeat the orange in an accessory. The checked pattern stands out particularly well against plain fabric.

GIVE EXISTING TEXTILES A FRESH DETAIL

Do you have a simple curtain, cushion cover or tablecloth that could use a refresh? A checked ruffle adds colour and a decorative edge without replacing the entire item. Its 6 cm height makes this design suitable for projects where you want a subtle yet noticeable finish.
When reusing textiles, check that the existing fabric is still strong enough. Combining the ruffle with cotton? Allow for possible differences in shrinkage. Cotton may shrink during washing and cause the finished piece to pucker. If in doubt, make a test piece first.

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.
