Are you considering adding ruffles and frills to a project, but you don’t know where to start? Maybe you’re concerned about cutting too many or too few strips of fabric. Well, I can help. Here is the formula I've been using to make ruffles for over a decade plus tips for how to actually get them on your garment. Whether you need one ruffle or layers and layers of them, this formula will work for you.

Not a fan of math? No problem! I'll take you through the formula step by step, line by line, weird letter by weird letter. This is meant to be as accessible as possible, whether you've been sewing for years or just starting out.
