Gathering
Gathering is a sewing technique for shortening the length of a strip of fabric so that a longer piece can be attached to a shorter piece
Two types of gathering :
1.Pleating or plaiting is a type of gathering in which the folds are usually larger,made by hand and pinned in place, rather then drawn in with threads.
2.Shirring or gauging is a decorative technique in which a panel of fabric is gathered in many rows of stitching across it's entire length and then attached to the foundation or lining to hold the gathers in place
