shirring

Long elbow cuffs, and above them two beautiful puffs divided by rows of shirring and bows of brown-silk ribbon.

This may be in the form of a cupboard or small closet, or a bag made of light rubber cloth and provided with a shirring string.

The shirring string under the crown is pulled up first and the material over-handed to the frame.

Straight across the pond she went, her toes shirring the water, and up and up and up—then off.

Machine work: Plain stitching, tucking, shirring, bias strips stitched on material.
