    I want to make some ruffled shorts for my DGD….has anyone used this pattern “as is” to do so? I really don’t like these kind of shorts slim. TIA, Cindy

    Where would you like to add the ruffle, my love?

    To the hem…like boutique shorts. I have tried pj patterns but they’re too slim and the stride is way too long!

    This is my first time posting. Please forgive my mistakes ( like posting twice and not being more specific in the subject line!).

    No problems at all!

    Happy to have you here!

    I would add the ruffle to the front and pin and stitch the blinding over the top of it. That would give an ‘up’ ruffle.

    To add a ruffle pointing down the leg could be trickier, or you could finish the shorts as per instructions and then add a gathered piece to the inside, baste it and then topstitch it in place…..

    Although it’s not the puppet show shorts have you seen this tutorial for adding ruffles to the class picnic shorts? http://siestasandsewing.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/ruffle-shorts-tutorial.html

    A ruffler is a great piece of equipment 🙂
    I’ve also recently been using elastic thread in the bobbin as a quick and easy gathering/ruffling method. I like it because I can easily stretch the gathered piece to fit.
