How to Sew in Gathers | Jenniffer Taylor | Photo Tutorial

Whether you decide to gather your skirt in the body or the waistline or in gathered tiers, the way you sew in your gathers will be the same.

Top tip! Before sewing the two lines of parallel stitching, change your bobbin thread to a different colour as this will make it easier to identify which thread is which later. Pulling the bobbin thread is a lot easier that pulling the top thread.

This tutorial has been extracted from Your Skirt, Your Way by Jenniffer Taylor. In this title, Jenniffer will show you how to design and sew your own gorgeous, unique skirts, with no need for shop-bought patterns. Start by creating your own block and toile using just four body measurements. Then select your skirt shape, add the fittings, fastenings and details you want, and put the whole thing together with ease.

Don’t forget – you can enjoy 30% off Your Skirt, Your Way with your exclusive member discount code.
