PIN TUCKS: Adding them EASILY to any pattern. 3 WAYS. Cadence & Presto (Love Notions)

Pin tucks can add a beautiful detail to any woven top pattern and I am sharing how to do this easily in 3 DIFFERENT WAYS today. It’s easy and fun! You will see how to add them to the center front of a top, how they can replace gathers on a pattern and in a center inset.

You will see all the “how-to” and sewing footage so that you can make special pin tucks on your garments too!
