Gathering

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.
In simple gathering, parallel rows of running stitches are sewn along one edge of the fabric to be gathered. The stitching threads are then pulled or "drawn up" so that the fabric forms small folds along the threads.
