Gathering

Gathering can be done in a few different ways however they all have similar outcomes. I will be researching the different ways of gathering so when I come to experimenting I can see which ones and the more efficient in the time it takes to make them and the looks they create.

Gathering with Elastic: Gathering with elastic is quicker to do as the elastic does all the gathering for you. It create tight gathers which have a stretch to them.

 Gathered strip: Gathered material placed in-between to strips of flat material

  



 

Cross Shirring: Row of gathering vertical and horizontal

 

 

Star Gathering: Gathering of material to create star/ diamond shapes

 

 

Gathered double edge ruffles: A gather strip of material on top of another piece of material to create a ruffle effect

 

 

These are different ways in which you can create a horizontal gathering.
