I've been meaning to make an organza ruff for a clown lolita coord I'm putting together - this video is so helpful! I know I'll be coming back to it when I get sewing it
Oh look, another tutorial for something I'll never do, but watching The Stitchess allows me to understand my fabric craft friends. Also, even in things like this, your love of this is screaming through every word. And the excitement is contagious. Thank you, as always, for sharing.
Fun fact! Many of the portraits shown, specifically by Paulus Moreelse are not in fact nobles or royals. He is a dutch painter who was based in Utrecht, in what was than the republic of the seven united provinces. No royal house! The people in the portraits are merchants. In this time period there was a big powershift with lots of “new”(stolen) money making merchants far more influential than nobles.
Im so excited for this video! I've been wanting to make a ruff since I saw one being sold at a music festival a few months back (it was like $200 so I could not justify buying it.) I can't wait to try to follow along with this!
Thank you for this tutorial! I just completed my ruff based from this video and it is literally perfect! The only change I made to mine was adding ties to the back of the neck! ❤
Thanks for this very clear demonstration. I never realized it was that easy! FYI- you could have just used contrasting threads for the video with a disclaimer that IRL you’d match the thread to fabric choice. ie, pink for basting and yellow for tacking on. Would be easier to follow. Great job anyway
