Weekend Workout 11 - RUFFLES

Welcome to this week's challenge. What can you put ruffles on ?

Everywhere I look at the moment there are ruffles, and not just on clothes. I have seen ruffled shower curtains, cushions, aprons, tablecloths and cute little cupcakes.  I think they are so summery and as we are being promised a heatwave I thought we should have more ruffles in our lives.

I decided to make a ruffled bag - with a twist!  I made it from a vest t-shirt.

 
When you turn it the other way it is bag shaped already - no complicated cutting out!

 

I ran up some ruffles using some lovely Cath Kidston fabric.
 

Add as many rows as you like.
 
After doing this I thought it would really cute on a little baby vest for the summer.

What can you ruffle?

Hello, Eleanor here. Thanks for this challenge Joy, that's such a sweet bag.

I was reminded of how much I loved making a ruffled skirt, here, so I scrapped it, using fabric scraps left over, a (very old) Junkitz zip, some swiss dot scalloped fabric trim, and Cuttlebug butterflies.

Then, I was in a ruffling mode, so I rustled up, or should that be ruffled up, a New Baby card, with cardstock, cuttlebug, sewing machine, broderie anglaise lace trim and some (very old) tiny goldlabel alphabet stickers:

I love ruffles.

P.S. Every time I write (very old) like that, in brackets, it means I'm feeling rather virtuous about using up old stash. :)

Oh wow I am definitely going to have a go at ruffles.

Just wondering if DH would notice if I 'borrowed' one of his vest tops and would he notice the altered state with ruffles?? (probably not lol) x
