Step 1
You´ll need 2 same color t´shirts. One for cut out the ruffles and another one that will be the actual to transform and wear. You´ll end up with 2 different size ruffles, so you´ll have to cut for the bottom part 3 inches wide, and for the rest 1.5 inches.
Step 2
Sew together some of the ruffles so you end up with a long one to sew around the T shirt at the bottom. I did 2. Also sew an straight line one the top side to then pull and create the ruffle, richness or bulk up to you.
Step 3
Pin the big bottom ruffles to bottom of t shirt and sew to attach.
Step 4
This are the little ruffles. I sew in the middle of the 1.5 strip and then pull to create this, Do several... depending on your design
Step 5
Pin the little ones to the top of the t shirt, and create your future design, then attach with the sewing machine. I normally choose the sewing thread to create the ruffle from another color, just is then easier to pull that thread apart and remove it. For a better finish.
Step 6
After I sewed some beads to cheer up a bit, that if you have enough time!!!
Voilá!! it´s ready to wear!!!
