  Está muy bien este vídeo, por fin se lo que es punto de tripa. Es muy grafica la explicacion, si estuviera en español quizá cogeriamos alguna explicacion más. Lo que he visto es que la canilla va con hilo elastico y el hilo superior es normal, despues de coserlo interpreto que lo plancha para darle forma al arrugado. Un saludo!

  Thanks for the tutorial. How much larger does the fabric need to be if using a normal top pattern? Say you wanted to shirr the back of a top pattern, how much bigger would the pattern piece need to be. ?

  Great tutorial! Thanks! Btw, you and I have the same iron! It was so cheap, but it has been great! I’ve had it for 7 years now with not a single problem. I think it’s made by Hamilton Beach? :)

  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! ive been wondering also how to do this. I was just going to experiment but now I don’t have to waste fabric and thread. Plus I didnt know spraying it and ironing made that big of a difference. Thanks again you explain things very simply so that it doesnt seem like such an ordeal to create things. THANK YOU!!!!!!

  I have to repair a shirred top sundress. Only one or two rows came undone. How would I repair just these two rows? When sewing would I pull the fabric straight?

  Excellent tutorial! I never knew shirring was so easy. How much extra fabric do you recommend for this?

  Yay – a friend told me how easy this was and now I actually believe her! Just one question, the cotton for the top thread is normal cotton and the bottom only has the elastic thread??

  LOVE!!!! i have almost bought some pretty awful material just because it was pre-smocked- now I won’t be tempted- I’ll do it myself !!! Not to mention being able to mend the shirred dresses I own which have lost elastic and loosened up.
