Ruffles!

Hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying your day. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to do any re-fashioning in the past few weeks, so I thought I would show you two that I did in January.

My daughter saw two tee-shirts embellished by Sachiko from Tea Rose Home, and she asked me too make some for her. They were both easy to do, and look so cute when they are finished. The first one I did was the 'Ruffled Shirt'. Sachiko made her's from a cream coloured sleeveless tee, but I used a black 3/4 length sleeve top.

Before,



After,



Black is so hard to photograph!

The second tee is another ruffle shirt, this one with rows of vertical ruffles.I started with this,



And this is what I made,



I think they both turned out ok, but next time I make the vertical ruffles, I will sew them even closer together. Thank you Sachiko for the great tutorials!
My daughter is pleased with her new tops, and that is all that matters. Have a lovely day ladies!

I'm curious how you did the ruffles? Where they big to begin with and you used the leftovers for the ruffles? Or where there more shirts in similar colors?
I love the outcome! The bottom style is my favorite and I love ruffles even if I hate making them with a passion! lol. Very very cute and I bet your daughter looks awesome in them!
