Shoulder Ruffle Sweater Refashion

Ruffles! I love ruffles. They are a great way to add a chic and feminine touch to anything in your closet. Lately, I've been seeing ruffles everywhere and on everything. Ruffles have been trending, especially when placed on the shoulders. 

I had this grey sweater in my closet that had awkward fitting sleeves. The shoulder part somehow got stretched out and the sleeves hit at an awkward length between 3/4 and long. At first, I was just going to change the sleeves, but I decided this sweater needed a little more. As I was scrolling through Pinterest, I kept seeing shoulder ruffles, and I decided that was what this sweater needed.

WHAT I DID:

1.  I chopped off those awkward sleeves.

2. I traced new sleeves out of the old ones.

3. I drafted my shoulder ruffles, cut them out, and hemmed them.

4. I basted the ruffle to the shoulder, then I sewed on the sleeve. The shoulder ruffle should be sandwiched in between the sweater and the sleeve.

See, gorgeous ruffles!
