Frivolous Ruffles!

So I went shopping at Tesco today and found t-shirts 2 for £6 so I picked up 2 pink t-shirts, one to wear and one to sacrifice! After seeing loads of posts (here, here and here) about ruffling up t-shirts I thought I'd join in. I bought my size and the biggest they had to make sure I had loads!






One boring but pretty coloured t-shirt
Look at what I found looking for matching thread! It must have come from my mothers supplies, so goodness how old it is (1960s?). Anyway I LOVE the name of the colour - Frivolous Pink! What a great colour and a great name, goes well with ruffles dontcha think? Ruffles are definitely frivolous!









and the end result.........




(excuse the pot belly - I'm working on getting rid of it.....)






2 long strips and 2 narrow strips, I know groups of 3's usually look better but for some reason it didn't today.


Well I'm really pleased with how it came out, I shall be looking out for more cheap t-shirts that need some jazzing up!



I'm gonna give myself A- for this! What would you give me?

  7. And I just paid $10 for a ruffle shirt that doesn't look as good as yours... I think I'll try my hand at one of these next time.
