The beauty and luxury of ruffles has made a come-back. Interior designers are combining prints, patterns, color, details reminiscent of 30 years ago and a generation of "grandmillienials" has also influenced this design trend.


On this episode of The Sew Much More Podcast: 30 Minutes with Workroom Tech, Ceil DiGuglielmo and Susan Woodcock talk about pleated ruffles. Susan takes you into the workroom so you can learn how she creates pleated ruffle details.


Gathered ruffles are beautiful but pleated ruffles are extra special because they require more time, skill and experience which makes them the perfect high-end, custom detail.


Learn how to mark and fold pleats for knife and box pleat ruffles, and how cutting the fabric in different ways can give you completely different looks.


Knife and box pleated ruffles can have different looks with the same fabric.
