Step 3
Instruction provided: Pin fabric 2 frill to lower edge of skirt with right sides together, align raw edges, match centres and gather to fit. Distribute gathers evenly. Place fabric 5 frill right side down onto the wrong side of fabric2 frill match centres, align raw edges and gather to fit. Pin in place. With fabric 2 frill sandwiched between fabric 5 frill and skirt, sew using 1cm seam allowance. Press seam allowance towards skirt.
Lay out the frills and decide what order you want them in. Remembering that the larger frill will always be the bottom one. It is at this point I realise my bird material on the bottom is upside down. I assumed it when both ways...wrong.
Pretty straight forward from here.
Keep the raw edges neatly together and place a pin approximately every 5cm. I was doing larger spacing but after the first stitch wanted the gather to stay exactly as I had put it.
Chuck on the longer frill next.
Make sure that the edges are lined up. When you add the larger frill just re pin the pins already in place.
