Lynette’s Laughable Life: A True Story!

Hi there!  This post has a story to go with it.  I get to tell you something funny that happened.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lynette (that’s me!).  She had a great idea to make a ruffle shirt.  She gathered her ruffles together, and started to sew them vertically down her shirt.  Just as she was sewing the last ruffle on, she sewed her shirt together.  In several places.  She unpicked the seams, but she learned quickly that unpicking knits usually ends up in holes.  So now she had a holy ruffly shirt!  That shirt sat for months in a box where it couldn’t be seen.  Lynette’s sister, K, saw it and liked it.  She cut out the ruffles, sewed the parts that had been unpicked, and appliquéd it onto a brown t-shirt.  While reinforcing the ruffles to the shirt, she too sewed her shirt together!  Lynette quickly unpicked it, and as the shirt was a thicker knit, the holes were too tiny to worry about.  K left it as is and modeled it proudly for me to show off here.

This shirt is made with three thin strips of ruffles.  Normally you’d just sew the ruffles to the shirt, but this had to be a tad different because of our previous struggles! :) Linking to these parties!
