first i got a double flat sheet, i measured the amount i wanted for the arm of the sofa, and cut it out
then i cut the rest in to long strips, these need to be alot longer than the width of the sheet you are sewing it to.
next you need to ruffle them, i did this the quick way, by pushing it through the presser foot of the machine crumpled up, pushing it through faster than it is sewing.
next lay them on the sheet to see where you want them, then sew them on one at a time, pinning them to the sheet.
then its finished
now you have a cute ruffled throw.
This coach is so warmy. I love this throw and also love your pillows. So cute 🙂

Aimee, You are handy at so many things! Pretty throw! Thanks for sharing!
This is so cute! I was thinking of making a bed skirt with the ruffle after seeing it today on Anthro's site. You did a great job with your couch!
wow, that makes such a statement! Love the feminine touch it gives an otherwise masculine sofa.
That is really cute! Great idea!

Wow – So cute. I don't like to sew but you make it sound so easy. hmmm. I think I'll try this. Thank you so much.
Wow!! I saw a few of these that people used on their beds and I really didn't like it. I never really thought about using it on a couch. (um…DUH!!) It looks amazing. Do you have a problem with the edges fraying? I mean it looks great with the fray but I worry about it fraying too much.
this is gorgeous!!!!
Thanks for linking up to Serenity Saturday, hop to see you again this Saturday
