Ruffled Tank



Here is an easy way to create a cute ruffled shirt.

First you are going to want to cut your fabric piece.  You will cut one piece about 3x15''

Next you are going to turn under both long piece and stitch a rolled hem.  If that is too hard, just iron and create the smallest hem possible.

Next you are going to do a gathering stitch at the top of the fabric.

To do a gathering stitch, lengthen the stitch length to about 5 and make a straight stitch about 1/4'' from top of the fabric.

Next pull the right bottom thread, while holding the left bottom thread.  Gather to the length that you like.

Pin the ruffle to the shirt and then top stitch close to the edge of the fabric, making sure to catch the ruffle.

Remove the pins and wear!  If you get tired of your fabric choice, just remove and redo.
