For the Love of Ruffles
While blog surfing lately I have come across some of the most adorable ruffle-y things. I love all things ruffles. Ruffle pillows. Ruffle shirts. Ruffle hairbows. Ruffle scarves. Ruffles are feminine, fun, beautiful, whimsical. And that's when I saw this beautiful scarf. Not long after I found this tutuorial I bought some fabric at Walmart, but I didn't know if my old sewing machine would work with elastic thread. But, Kipp actually just bought me a new sewing machine about a week ago. (Maybe I'll post about that later.) I finally made it to the fabric store to buy some elastic thread, because I knew the new machine would just have to work with elastic thread! Then it took me (and Kipp) a whole night to figure out how to use the elastic thread in my new machine. So, the next afternoon I whipped out my new ruffle-y scarf. I should have done a few things differently, but all in all I just love it and plan to make another one, or five! Please excuse the bad bathroom lighting.
