How to turn Gathers into Tucks
Gathers or tucks? Here’s how I turned these simple gathers into delicate tucks.
You can find this detail on my #seamworkbaker dress, which I hacked into a top!
✂️ Start with a pattern piece that’s meant to be gathered and measure it
✂️ Figure out how much fullness to remove and remove it
✂️ Divide that by the number of tucks you want
✂️ Decide how far apart you want to place the tucks
✂️ Mark them in alternating colors—it’s so much easier to see where each tuck goes
✂️ Stitch them together and press flat
Do you prefer gathers or tucks?
