The last in my Beginner’s Guide to Sewing series of Youtube video tutorials filmed with Cico shows you how to attach elastic directly to garments to create ruching and gathers.
I used it in this ruched side version of the Roewood Jersey Pencil Skirt in “Beginner’s Guide to Making Skirts” to create a comfortable soft drapes and gathers and easily transform a plain simple skirt.
Here’s how to do it, it’s one of those techniques that’s definitely easier to show in video than pictures so I hope this will be one to bookmark and come back to!
