How to gather fabric using two straps and a tunnel
This clever gathering technique involves sewing a narrow casing along the edge of the fabric and threading two straps through it. Pulling the straps bunches the fabric into neat, adjustable gathers — giving you a practical, flexible finish that’s easy to control and reposition as needed.
Pro tip
Watch the video carefully and pause at each step as needed — the technique is visual and easy to follow once you see it in action. Make sure your casing is wide enough for both straps to slide through smoothly without bunching inside the tunnel.
