I have been wanting to try out some of this beautiful ruffle fabric for some time now, but the cost of it has always turned me away. Ruffle Fabric has an amazing selection of ruffle fabric but most of the fabric costs about $16.99 a yard. It is just waay too much for me. So the other day I did a quick search at fabric.com and found some for $12.98 a yard. And thanks to their Thanksgiving sale I used a 30% off coupon and ended up paying only $10.38 a yard...with free shipping of course. It is still a tiny bit more then the usual designer fabrics, but I have already been able to make 3 toddler skirts out of one yard of fabric. That is 3 Christmas presents for a mere $10.38!
I even used up some of the scraps to make some Christmas decorations. I'm telling you, I love this fabric! If you have never worked with it before it's kinda like sewing knits, but with pretty little flowing ruffles all over it. The best part is that it does not fray!
A few days after I made my first purchase I noticed that they added a pretty stone and grey color to their selection for only $6.98 a yard... $6.98! So I just had to buy a bunch of it. My fabric allowance has taken it pretty hard with this pretty little fabric, but almost all of my Christmas presents will be made for less then $150, with many yards leftover. Not bad, huh?
I'm still debating on what to do with all of the 20+ yards of ruffle fabric that I now have, but I'm pretty sure that this list here will definitely give me some inspiration. Plus I plan on making some home decor items with it and maybe a skirt or two for myself.Any of you used ruffle fabric before? Are you just as obsessed with it as I am?
Oooo pretty! I have never worked with ruffle fabric, but it looks like lots of fun. I can't wait to see what else you will make with it.
