Wear PINK, October 15th!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness and in part with my company and local radio stations, today is the day everyone wears pink to show their support! Our company also has a property-wide Health Fair with everything from free flu shots, to medical advice, to chair massages! To take part in this important day, I made my pink shirt! Hello Pink Ruffle Shirt with lace :)

 Here are the goodies I had and intended on using. Well, not ALL of them at once, but at least the lace and possibly another trim. In the end I ended up using just the lace. I used the same idea to create this top from my original Ruffle Shirt.

I just laid the lace and ruffles vertically rather than horizontally and sewed on some lace at the bottom for an added girly touch :)

Hope everyone wore pink in support of Breast Cancer--and will continue to do so throughout the month of October!!

One of my own: Ruffle Shirt {Mini Tutorial}

In the midst of working on gifts and orders, I managed to finally squeeze in a project for myself (though I still have LOTS to work on)! My last post I wrote about my inspiration for my Ruffled Shrug from Tea Rose Home...which is the most adorable ruffled shirt made from just two identical tees. Well, I finally stumbled across some tee's on sale at Wally World for only $2 each and grabbed two grey ones, perfect for work...and finally this project. I LOVE her ruffled shirt and have been dying to make one ever since I saw her idea many months ago!

Here is what I started off with...but two tees of course. 

Her tutorial is very helpful, so no need to repeat what she did perfectly...and best of all it took no time to make! The only difference I made with mine was that I turned my tee into a tank. Much more comfortable for the office and easier to throw a cardigan or jacket over :) 

And here is the final product!

Thank you so much Sachiko for this simple but super cute idea. 

By the way, she has over 140 comments on this little beauty...and no wonder why! :)
