Hello everyone,
Welcome To Thread It Thursday!!!
Today I just wanted to share the sewing technique I used to make this skirt I recently made for my mother.
I find that this technique is much easier than using a basting stitch. There is no need to worry or deal with threads breaking as you gather…..especial if you’re using a fabric heavier in weight.
You can check out a previous post called the Designer Look For Less, where I used the same technique here.
My goal with this post is to share a tidbit that I have found useful and makes sewing a bit easier!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it.
Happy Sewing & Until Next Time,

For styling and cooking yes but for sewing…Would love how to sew Though! Thank you anyway!
Thanks for sharing. I will try this with my next project that needs gathering.

Hello,
The floral print on the fabric is delightful, I’m sure your mother loved it.
I’ve always used 2 basting stitches and then I hold my breath and say a silent prayer when I pull the threads to gather the fabric. It’s frustrating if the thread breaks 😀
Thank you for sharing this tip, easier, tried and tested techniques add more fun to sewing.
Have a lovely day.
Thank you….my mother loves the skirt. The print was something different for her….she loves all thing’s preppy. Happy to share a time saving technique. Thank you for stopping by!! ☺ Happy sewing!

You’re welcome and thank you for stopping by!
