Tie a knot in the end of the ribbon you want to ruche and pin to your work board.

Snip a line about 1/8” into the center of the ribbon to separate the threads.

Separate the threads to find the outside threads.

Using a bit of tension begin to push the ribbon toward the pinned knot. Work this slowly. Use the tension to keep it from rolling and getting out of your control.

Continue ruching to the required length. I dot glue along the knot edge and the finished edged before cutting any of the strings away.

Oh my goodness! This is genius! I have an 18th century style doll that this will be perfect for. Thank you for sharing.
