This week we'll take a closer look at the ruching technique. This technique adds an amazing amount of visual interest to a design and the best part is, it's very easy to do!
Ruching (pronounced - rooshing) is a French word that means to ruffle, pleat, or gather. It is made by creating two parallel lines of gathering. It can be used horizontally or vertically in a given design. This technique has been used for hundreds of years and continues to be used in many fashion designs today! It is frequently used to accent or define a waistline, add detail to a collar, neckline or bodice; or add dimension to the sleeve. I love this technique because, like pintucks, you can add uniqueness without any additional cost or materials.
In the video posted below, I share with you a few examples and hands-on tutorials of the ruching technique. I've also included some explanation and illustration of what you would need to do to add this to an existing design. I hope this will encourage and inspire you to try something new!
