Okay, another ruffle fabric project. This time I bought a 26" remnant piece of this slate gray color. I think it was around $8 or something like that. I made up the skirt at this length. That is just what you do - make it then cut to length when you are finished. This is obviously a horrible length for me - so I had a friend help me decide a good length for me.
I cut off 6 ruffles from the bottom, and then reinforced the seam that I had cut so it wouldn't come undone. Kelsey is going to have herself a gray infinity scarf now, and she is excited!
Here is the new length, much more becoming than the longer version. Now I know if I ever buy another remnant, that I only need about a 19 or 20 inch length to work with!
This is a horrible picture, and its upside down with bad lighting, but I had to show the elastic waistband I attached the ruffle fabric to- easy as pie!
Kenna and I wore our new ruffles to church yesterday. It sounds silly, but I am not the most feminine dressed person, and the ruffles were a pretty big stretch for me. And as unfeminine as it sounds, I felt like a wooly mammoth! There was
alot of movement going on when I walked, and
alot of "stuff" just hanging down from me that I am not used to! Therefore, the wooly mammoth, but it was a fun little project.
