I named this blouse the "Picnic Blouse" because the red gingham reminded me of a picnic blanket. Lately, I have been seeing all sorts of cute little ruffle blouses, so I knew it was the perfect refashion project. It is also very easy, since all you really have to do is cut strips of fabric, make a gathering stitch, and sew on your new ruffles.
I started with this white blouse that I hadn't worn in quite some time. It already had some ruffles going down the front, and when I got this red gingham fabric, I knew that they were destined to be together hehe. :)
All I really did was:
1. Added two ruffles to the bottom.
2. Added a ruffle to the sleeves.
3. I added a little bow tie off detail on the back.

I like the longer length and the extra color of the new fabric.
