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.
