This was a fun top to make - I love the ruffles!!
I picked up the shirts for a little bit of nothing at wally world. I was getting a little tired last night, so all the ruffles aren't exactly even. The jacket does a good job disguising the imperfections. :)
I used this tutorial here. It's a great little tutorial, but it took me a little longer to finish than I thought. Probably because of my inexperience with ruffles for one thing. Mark had to work late last night, so I didn't have to cook supper. I decided to spend my time creatively instead of vegging in front of the computer all night. :) I haven't added a flower, but I may. I still have a few ruffles left from the length of little ruffles for the top. Next time I would make the top ruffles a little looser. I have a couple more tops (pink!!) and I may try something a little more on this line for it. It was a fun project and I think turned out cute! I'm loving the ruffles!! :)
So what have you all been up to recently? Have you also become friends again with your sewing machine like I have? :) If you are new to FOF see this post. And don't forget to come back and see what others have posted!

Ok, I'm so loving this!! Tell ya what, I'll trade you a nest pillow for a ruffle shirt! Hehehe My trouble is finding petite tees. The regular ones always go to my knees :)I'll just have to see if I can find some and make me one - I'm getting reeeealy addicted to ruffles lately :) Yours looks awesome - you did great for your first time with ruffles!
