More Ruffles- Easter Egg Style!

This apothecary jar filled with hand-painted, wooden Easter eggs was the inspiration for my newest creation.

Wait for it.....

Another ruffled shirt!
  I know, but I just can't help it.  I love ruffles.  I guess I'm just a girly-girl.

Do you love it or what?
 

Here's the assortment of grosgrain ribbon that I used.
 

 I cut a strip of each kind about 9 3/4" long.
 

 Here are all of my little ruffles.  Don't they look like a bunch of caterpillars?  Go here to view my instructions for making a ruffle.  For this project, however, just sew down the length of the ribbon one time instead of two.
 

 I cut a piece of white felt the size and shape of the Easter egg that I wanted.  Then I took a ruffled ribbon and sewed it across the bottom of the felt egg.  I did the same for the rest of the ribbons until I filled up the egg-shape.

 Once the egg was filled up with gorgeous ruffles, I pinned it to the center of one of my girl's white shirts and sewed around the outer edge of the egg with my sewing machine.  Then I trimmed any parts that stuck out and sealed the ribbon edges carefully with a lighter.

                                      
                                        

    

 Sorry about all the pictures, but I just couldn't stop.  She's just too cute!

Now I think I'm going on a Coke break!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to
make your point. You definitely know what youre talking
about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when
you could be giving us something informative to read?
