Gathering is a sewing technique for shortening the length of a strip of fabric so that the longer piece can be attached to a shorter piece. It is commonly used in clothing to manage fullness as when a full sleeve is attached to the armscye or cuff of a shirt or when a skirt is attached to a bodice.In simple gathering parallel rows of running stitches are sewn along one edge of the fabric to be gathered.
