Before:
I got these PJ's for my daughter at the Dollar Store of all places, with the intention of making them pretty, but when I got home I couldn't find a coordinating fabric that I liked, so I decided to just re-do the shirt!
So I cut a leg off...
Cut it into 5 strips, about 3/4" wide, and ruffled them on my machine...
Pinned them to the shirt where in a necklace pattern, with the excess all hanging off one end.
After I sewed them on, I wrapped the excess ruffles into a rose pattern and hand stitched it with two pearls in the center.
Then I stitched a bow on, made from some vintage ribbon I had on hand. I love the color!
Cutie Pie!!
If I hadn't been too lazy to go back down to the $ store, I would have bought another pair of pants, and ruffled the bum or something. My daughter really needs jammies! And I'd love to have some that didn't have a cartoon character on them.P.S. Sorry about doing ruffles again! I can't help myself. The blog name should have warned you! :o)

That is soooooo cute!!
I hear you about the jammies without cartoon charectors, I can't seem to find them anywhere! I love love love this idea, I'm totally going to copy it!
Disney, I LOVE this!!!! It's so classy and your daughter looks so precious! I love the pictures too. I love how you used the extra length of ruffles to make a rose. :) Thanks for the tutorial.
oh my gosh! adorable! my dollar store never has stuff like that. jealous!
Don't apologize for doing ruffles again. You can never have too many ruffles. And this was so timely for me as I was needing to add ruffles to a shirt. I had just been thinking that five minutes before I read your post.
Okay...I'm coming out of the closet...umm, well... hmmm, let me start over...
I WANT TO SEW BETTER! I'm one of those impatient kinds of people. I dont take the time to read piano notes because it doesn't make sence, so i play by ear...ish. And I dont understand sewing patterns, so I just 'wing' it...and well, there's always trial and error. And then there's you...Who has completely captured my fashion vintage love in all your ruffles! And I cant get enough and want to come over to your house for a WHOLE day so you can teach me!
breathing...calming down. Dont worry, i wont show up at your door step. But maybe you could just make this shirt in my size. Thanks, that'd be great, i'll be waiting by my mailbox.
:)
AWESOME! I love the little bow, cute touch!
I LOVE IT!!! I am so doing that tomorrow!!
Adorable!! I can't wait to try this for Samster.
Did you have any problems with the waffle fabric stretching? I've had such a hard time sewing with it in the past...any tips?
Whoa that rocks!! You are an excellent seamstress and photographer!!! Happy SITS saturday. I'm following :) http://thesuburbanjungle.blogspot.com
