A Tank Top Repurpose {Tutorial}

I've seen these all over blog land and in the catalogs and thought that I could make one in miniature for my daughter!

I love taking everyday items like an under shirt and a  tank top in this case and turning them into something special.  Cost: $0.00
 {I had everything on hand}

Here's what I started with:

One of my daughter's many tanks

An extra pre washed under shirt {new} of my older son's

I cut the sleeve's off, can use for another project, cut the strips for ruffles at approx 3 in. then cut each of those at the side to make 2 strips out of each.

Sew the strips with a running stitch or gathering stitch

pull the under side thread or  bobbin thread

it should look like this

now you are ready to pin the ruffle in place at the very top

add the next layer just under the first, but be careful here, you don't want it too low or else the top will show

continue until it looks like the pic above

ta da!

{Lace and brown velvet head band}...just for fun!

Hope you like this Ruffled Tank Top tutorial! Make one and let me know how it turned out.
