Craft & Design Yarncraft

CRAFT: Sew and Sew

By Erica Domesek
As we welcome the summer season, we say “Yes!” to all things light, airy, and fun! Sporting lightweight ruffles day or night is a great way to dive head first into the season. Inspired by the likes of ultra-feminine and flirty designs by Kate Spade, Cynthia Rowely, and Oscar de la Renta, this one-shoulder ruffle tee is the perfect blend of casual comfort and carefree cuteness! Chances are, you probably have the ingredients laying around at home for this designer-inspired DIY that’s a “must do.”


Ruffleshirt Tee Materials

Materials

White cotton T-shirt
Fabric scissors
Straight pins
Sewing needle
Thread
in a color to match the T-shirt

Directions

Ruffleshirt Step1
Step 1: Lay your T-shirt on a flat surface and cut off approximately 3″-4″ (depends on how long your shirt is, and how large you want your ruffle to be).
Ruffleshirt Step2
Step 2: Cut a curved asymmetrical line from one shoulder down to the opposite armpit. (Use an erasable marking tool if you need to draw a line to help with the cut.)
Ruffleshirt Step3
Step 3: Cut the bottom piece to create one long strip.
Ruffleshirt Step4
Step 4: Scrunch and pin the fabric strip along the asymmetrical neckline.
Ruffleshirt Step5
Step 5: Sew the ruffle strip using a sewing needle and thread, using small stitches all along the neckline.
Ruffleshirt Step6
Step 6: For a more dramatic ruffle, use a fabric piece from another T-shirt. If you buy a 3-pack, you can make several!
P.S. If your T-shirt is too loose under the arm, sew a few extra stitches to create a fitted bustline.

    Absolutely love this idea and I’d like to recreate it, but with the ruffles, is it all the way around the neckline, or is it just on the front of the shirt?

    This is just lovely!

    Hi Keeley,
    This ruffle was done just on the front according to Erica but you can do it along the back too if you wish! It’s open to any DIY interpretation.

    Europe’s leading human rights watchdog has urged Germany to cease providing sexual offenders the choice of surgical castration.
    The Council of Europe’s anti-torture committee mentioned in a report issued Wednesday that the practice, which aims to help convicted sex criminals rein in their sex drives and lower their threat of reoffending, could simply be regarded as “degrading treatment.” In accordance with Germany’s 1969 Law on Voluntary Castration, a person more than the age of 25 may be subjected to surgical castration if he “displays an abnormal sex drive, which … provides purpose to suspect that he will commit one or more criminal offenses.” The controversial process isn’t mandatory along with a consensual offender can only have the operation immediately after getting informed of all the implications in the selection and immediately after medical approval has been obtained, Germany mentioned in its response, adding that it would contemplate reviewing the concern.
    But Berlin also cited the treatment’s effectiveness, saying that of the 104 individuals who underwent the process within the 1970s, only three men and women committed sexual crimes again. Almost half with the 53 others who refused or had been denied treatment eventually reoffended.
    Voluntary castration is nonetheless really uncommon in Germany, with fewer than 5 instances per year inside the final decade.
    The only other nation within the 47-nation bloc in the Council of Europe that delivers the process could be the Czech Republic, which has also been the subject of criticism in current years for allowing sex offenders to opt for castration, a process it makes use of far much more regularly than Germany.

    Jason Segel told the internet site he will not be signing up for an additional round with Kermit and Co. “It’s accurate I will not be within the sequel],” said Segel, “but it is entirely amicable. My aim was to bring the Muppets back and I did that, leaving them in extremely good hands.” Segel said he desires “to pursue far more human-related projects,” adding, “All I wanted to complete was to set the stage for them to do whatever they wanted. I’m positive I’ll return in some capacity here and there, but that was half a decade of my life. 5 years of hard function. I am prepared for a little puppet break.”

    This was an easy afternoon project. I did sew the hem on the shirt and the ruffle for a more finished look. It looks great.
