Maxi Dress Repurposed to Fab Shirt

Before….

Cute… but could use a little something special.

After…

Pretty, pretty ruffled shirt.

 

What I did…

Cut off excess length at hem of dress.

From piece you remove… cut 1 1/2” strips

Set sewing machine on loosest straight stitch setting…

Sew strips down the center… I just eyeball it…

Gather strip by pulling top thread only…      

Pin in place and stitch down the center of the gather…

WaLa… Now you have a fab new Shirt…

I made a little hairpin with some of the leftover ruffle… likey, likey!
