Step 4: Create 1 long strip by cutting "open" at one of the seams or simply cut the loop in half.
Step 5: Cut 1 strip 2.5" wide. Cut open as instructed above.
Step 6: Gather/Ruffle all 3 strips using a
basting stitch in y our machine and gently pulling the bottom thread to gather the fabric
together. (Stitch 1/4 - 1/2" in from one edge of the fabric strip)
Step 7: Pin one end of the 3.5" ruffled striped at the shoulder seam and the other end about 5-6" from the top of the shirring lines at the
bottom of the tshirt lining it up in the middle.
Step 8: Adjust the gathers so the strip fits between the two pinned areas. Pin in place leaving an opening near the middle of the
neckline in the front. Repeat with the other 3.5" wide ruffled strip on the opposite side of
the tshirt.
Step 9: Sew the ruffles to the tshirt by stitching over the basting line.
Step 10: Fill in the open area in the top middle of the tshirt using the 2.5" wide ruffled strip. Place one end of this strip about 1 inch over
the empty area. Pin along the neckline and cut the ruffled strip to be about 1 inch over the
other side. Pin in place.
Step 11: Place a second layer of ruffles under
this layer making it smaller in width and centering it under the first. (see 2 photos
below) Stitch both layers of ruffles onto the tshirt.
OPTIONAL: to create a ruffle at the neckline and shoulder area that isn't as "full", cut and
or taper the ruffled fabric towards the shoulder seam until you have reached the
desired look.
Step 12: Cut off the hem on each sleeve curving the edge as pictured below.
Step 13: Shir 3 lines from the cut edge to the shoulder seam. Sew 2 shirring lines on the underpart of the sleeve too.
Add rosettes, beads, etc if desired!
I love how this top can be casual but dressy if needed too! Be comfortable this Spring and Summer by wearing a "tshirt" but look a bit
more pulled together and stylish!
