    Often mistakenly called smocking, shirring is a technique that creates stretchy fabric out of non-stretch fabric, by sewing rows of straight-stitches onto fabric using elastic thread in the bobbin! It's a really popular technique in fashion right now, and if you're anything like me, once you start shirring you'll become just as obsessed with it as I am and want to SHIRR EVERYTHING.

    When I had no idea how to do shirring properly, I just stretched an elastic band and sewed it onto my fabric.
    It pulled together rather nicely, but I'll try your method next time

    • @AlextheENTP
      @AlextheENTP 4 года назад +5

      That's what I used to think shirring was too! I'd examine the fabric closely, and it really looked like they had literally stitched this ridiculously thin elastic onto the wrong side of the fabric. I was so baffled as to how they got the machine to do that.
      Lol, now this tutorial has made me an expert compared to how far off I was then!

  • @curtriceennis2924

    A tip for shirring right up to the edge: If the panel has a straight edge, I like to fold the top over to make a casing and insert a piece of elastic there, it gives a really clean finish!

  • @hweiyilee6559
    @hweiyilee6559 5 лет назад +4

    Very interesting! Never realised that the elastic thread might be able to backstitch... I tediously tied off each of the rows the one time I attempted this... Also +1 that you don't need a fancy machine to shir well -- had a bunch of luck doing this as a beginner on a basic mechanical machine and never realised that there was so much to learn on this technique!

    This is so, SO helpful!! I have an old sleeveless sundress that I’ve had since I was a kid and I’m trying to rework. The main bodice is shirred, and the skirt is wide and flowy. Under the skirt is a second layer, same material as the rest, but now that I own a pair of cotton bloomers I can wear underneath, I’d like to remove the underlayer and make sleeves from the fabric. I want them to be poofy, but in fitting them down to the arm, I hadn’t even considered shirring the band! Oh, I’m so excited!
