What can you do when little girls have outgrown their pants in length but they still fit around the waist?? You can add a ruffle to the bottom of their pants!! To go with the pants, I bought a plain tee shirt and added a ruffle to the bottom of it & also added an applique' for some more heart decor. I was able to use extra fabric from other projects, so the recycled part was FREE!! All you need to do is cut a length of fabric for the ruffle that you need to make the pants fit in length, adding enough extra for hemming & the seam. The width can be 1 1/2 times the width of the pant leg. Do a basting stitch, pull it to fit the pant leg, seam it together & then stitch it onto the bottom of the leg. For this, I actually tucked it under the leg & stitched it on. You can use trim on top, if you want.

ReplyDeleteYou are GENIOUS! I have a sewing machine - (from my Great Grandmothers home) but cant sew :( I admire the talent of sewing so much-- You could do this time of outfit for all the fun holidays-- just one request ! Do the "Mommy and me" matching and sell them on ETSY - you would be a huge success!! Since i refuse to grow up, i would match up with the kids every holiday oxox Happy w-end

ReplyDeleteThis set is very cute and creative. It reminds me of those way too expensive conture sets you see online, for a fraction of the cost. I have some of that cupcake fabric fabric, and it is adorable! Any little girl would be proud to wear a cute outfit like this. Kitty, thank you for sharing this stylish, economical tutorial on my blog. I appreciate your visit!
