Absolutely, Earthwalker, the first two two-tone ones I did without the ruffler and then decided to pull it out. You just pleat the fabric as you stitch 1/4" from the raw edge. Pleating was really pretty quick and was better than gathering.

very pretty...:)

Very nice and using leftover binding to make them is an excellent idea.

those are really pretty.

Cute I'll have to try that , thanks for showing them to us.:)

I decorated a baseball cap this weekend and put a flower on it after I had covered the top with fabric. This would have made it easier.

so cute! thanks for sharing yet another inspiration to keep me busy!

Yes, you can! Just leave the leftover binding folded. Then run a long stitch about 1/4 inch from the cut edge. When you've done the whole length, pull the BOBBIN thread to form gathers.

Looking forward to seeing more...did you use binding from the store?

Great idea!!!!
