Last-minute DIYs

So, I leave in two days, and I'm still frantically running around trying to finish things up. But one thing that I have been working on, and am almost finished with, is making my own ruffle shirts!

I personally have loved the new style with the ruffles on the front of a shirt, because it looks so professional and very nice with a cami over it. So I really, really wanted some for my mission! However, the cheapest they are in the store is like $25, which I'm not a huge fan of.

Instead, I went online and found a bunch of awesome DIY ruffle shirts, and have made them all! Here are the links, so you can make them too! All you need for most of them is two cheap t-shirts, some thread, pins, and a sewing machine!


  1. Tea Rose Home
    This shirt is my all-time favorite! I ended up making two, one with the flowers, one without.
    Also, I made the two other ruflle shirt tutorials on this blog as well, both found in the list of tutorials.
  2. Ruffles and Stuff
    Not gonna lie, I haven't actually made this one yet, but I'm going to tomorrow. And I'm excited about it!
  3. Brassy Apple
    This one is a bit more complicated, but not too difficult once you figure out how to shir (I just looked it up on google).


All in all, I made (or will have made) five shirts, and have had so much fun doing it! So if you are willing to spend more time than money, these are the way to go!

One other tutorial I found that I never actually got around to:
