Cool. Wonder if it can be done without the ruffler....don't have that bit of technology on my vintage machine.

One of the best things I learned from Nancy Zieman is clear elastic for gathering.

No, I used binding I had made for my quilts. I just usually make more than what I need. The white with black polka dots is left over from a quilt. I start with 3 inches then fold in half and press for my binding. For the flowers, instructions said to start with 2.5" fabric and cut in half. Close enough.

Gilly, we do a mini sewing retreat for about 2 hours every month at Missouri Sewing Machine on 291 in Independence, Missouri. We teach each other. It is wonderful.

80 inches for smaller and 120 inches for larger. Mine had 120 inches.

These are very pretty. I agree with the stretchy headband idea for babies.

Seriously? I was at the Mo. Sewing Machine Co on Barry Rd (North of the River) today for about an hour, I was playing with the Janome 4120. Thinking about buying one. I used to live on 291 in Independence, all of dh family still lives in Independence. I'm North of Smithville, I wonder if my store has a mini sewing retreat. I need to check that out.

Flowers of joy. I think you have started a flurry of flowermaking on the board.
