The Cutest Shirt You've Ever Seen!

As you probably already know, I really love ruffles, and I really love to make cute shirts for my girl.  Now, put them both together and what do you get... the cutest Valentine's shirt you've ever seen in your life!  Totally adorable!  Now, here's how you do it.

Set your stitch length so that it sews a long stitch, and grab a very long strip of ribbon (seriously, at least a yard) and sew down the length of it twice, making sure to backstitch a few times at the beginning each time.

This is what your ribbon will look like.  The two stitch lines are right next to each other.

Now, pull both of the bobbin threads to create the ruffle.

Here's your long ruffle!

Now, pin your ruffled ribbon to your shirt in the shape of a heart and sew it to the shirt.  It doesn't have to be perfect.   In fact, I think it looks better when it's a little twisted.

Oh, and don't forget to seal the two ends of the ribbon with a lighter so that it doesn't fray.  All you need to do is get the end of the ribbon close to the flame (without setting it on fire) in order to seal it right up.  You'll be amazed at how it works if you've never done this before. 

 Now that you've made the cutest thing you've ever seen, sit back and have a Coke!
