T Shirt Ruffle

I had a couple of shirts and pieces that I don't really wear.  

I cut a strip off of the bottom of a skirt, ran a gathering stitch (Just a loose big stitch which on my machine is a 4 length) and leaving the beginning and end loose gathered up the piece.  

I cut my red t-shirt into a scoop neck.  

Then I stitched it on the shirt gathering as I went along.

Made for a nice change to a shirt I was never wearing. So many options.
(Please forgive the bad pics as these were taken on an old phone)

And I know, long time no post! In the meantime, I've worked a lot, sewed A LOT, had another baby!, and am enjoying raising the kids.  I have so many posts that I had been working on, but never completed.  I hope to get some of those finished, as well as some new ones.  Hope everyone is doing well!

Embellished Shower Curtain

Finished.

I've had this plain Target Green shower curtain since 2008...I always felt like it needed something. 

I added a white ruffle and pinned. 

 And another layer of cream ruffle.

 Claire...bored with walking on the curtain.

 Finally adding a flowery ruffle ...

 and sewed it up, which took forever! Or at least it felt like it.

 I winged this, so I think it turned out pretty well.

Measuring and drawing straight lines to pin too, would be ideal...I just didn't have the time!
