Ruffled Up

I enjoyed a great cooking class with my friend Jenn and Mom yesterday. We followed our lesson up with a trip through the mall and I fell in love with these adorable shirts from JCREW.


I was not so fond of the $80 price tag so I will watch for a sale rack at the end of summer and see what I can snag. In the mean time I remembered a great blog I visited last week, www.katiedid.squarespace.com, and bloglifted an idea from there for my own "ruffly" shirt. I am amazed by that blogging mamas sewing skills and creativity. If you want to see the adorable ruffle dresses she made look up the flower collar tutorial.
My intentions for a large ruffled area were stopped by bed time and a 2 year old in the need of a cozy so my shirt ended up with a lot less of a collar and more of a corsage. Not bad though for some left over fabric and a shirt that I wasn't thrilled about wearing any more.
