Yes, it's that time again and school will start soon! In some parts it may have already so hurry to get your girls wardrobe ready! :) I purchased this adorable but pretty generic jumper at Goodwill for $2.00! Today I have a little tutorial for you on how to upcycle it a bit to make it just so pretty!
First I wanted to cover up the embroidery to give it some pizazz:
I pinned several little embellishment to the pocket:
Sewed them down:
THEN comes my favorite material!!! Premade ruffle fabric! It's gorgeous for many uses and today I am adding just a small strip to the bottom of my jumper!Cut it about 2" longer than the circumference of your jumper (or shirt, dress etc. you get the idea):
Place it onto your garment and tuck the top edge under:
Then fold up the top ruffle and pin right under it. Pin it all the way around until you reach the beginning:
With a straight stitch for denim or other non-stretch material garments sew the material on along the dashed line. Sew all the way around until you reach the beginning and backstitch beginning and end:
This is how it looks now:
Tuck the open edges under and top stitch:
No way! You are done! PS: if you like to purchase a small strip of this fabric or yardage, contact me! I stock a few great colors for only $7.50/yd! Use contact form at the bottom of this blog!
Now let me know how you like this little tutorial!:)Source URL: http://dressfashiongirls.blogspot.com/2011/08/sewing-for-back-to-school-ruffled.html
