A simple ruffle tee makeover--an original!
I used a plain long-sleeved tee from Old Navy in that funky neutral mushroom color for this refashion. I bought several of these in different colors when they were on special for $5 each!
A huge benefit of always shopping at the same places is that they use the same colors. So, I had leftover sleeve pieces from this project in the same color and very similar knit fabric.
All I really did was sew together and then gather the strips (about 1.5" wide), then pin them on and sew them down.
The whole thing took about 10 minutes. Seriously, try this at home! You could use any color for the ruffle, too, I suppose, for a different look!
Here's the before:
And here it is with a ruffle on the front!
Rolling my eyes at my photographer... ;)
Fun!
this looks great! I really love your ideas and creativity. If I didn't have a little 10 month old always on the go, my wardrobe would be in serious trouble from me and the scissors! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute!

Very cute! No one would recognize the original Tshirt after your refashion.
