Have a great day

to check out Dana's Nails

she just got them done

and is so proud of her now long fingers...

Although it may not last

she had nails 15 years ago

and had a chemical reaction

and had to get them removed

after going to the clinic with chemical burns

all over her neck, face, and eyes

which were oozing...

Why you ask would she try nails again....

VANITY!

The things we do

the lengths we go

to look long and lean

when your short and stubby!

Have a great week and see ya Thursday!

Apron with Ruffle

and matching Bow!

Lay tea towel out

and cut away the template

from the sides.

Roll the sides under twice

to finish edge and topstitch.

Cut Strip for Top Ruffle 4 1/2" wide

finish edges on all sides

double roll and top stitch.

Stitch down the center

with gather stitch.

Gather up to fit in place

see later in tutorial...

Cut Lower Ruffle 12 1/2" WOF

( width of Fabric)

Place wrong sides together

and stitch sides 1/4"

to finish edges turn right side out

and gather top.

Use a gather stitch or method

using cording see below.

Simply place DMC #8

or other thick floss

1/8" from edge and zigzag stitch over.

Make sure you make several knots

when you begin

so it doesn't pull through.

When you get to the end

pull cording

and this ensures

your gather stitch doesn't break.

TOP RUFFLE STITCHED ON

Make sure you adjust the length

of the apron

before you stitch lower ruffle on.

I cut about 3" off

I prefer a shorter apron

well and lets be honest...

I AM SHORT.

haha
Pin Lower Ruffle to fit bottom of apron

Stitch ruffle on front side of apron.

You will place ric rac

to finish the seam.

That way the underside of the apron

is finished.

RIC RAC

is pinned in place

then top stitch.

I top stitched both sides

you can do whatever you prefer.

MAKING THE STRAPS

AND TIES

Cut 3 strips 2" wide

of cooridinating fabric

Press all sides 1/4" in

with right side down.

Then bring to match sides

and top stitch

with right side out.

Remember to cut one of the strips

in half for the top of the apron.

Straps folded and ready to top stitch.

Stitch in place on on each side

and one on each side

on the top of the apron

for the tie around the neck.

RUFFLE PILLOWCASE

Our new idea

to make the ruffle edge

on the pillowcase.

Then you could make it into a dress.

This is a new fun idea.

Follow the photos below

to make the ruffle bottom.

Cut the Pillowcase 27"

Then cut two strips 10" wide.

Stitch two strips together

to make one continuous strip.

To ruffle take a spool of heavy thread

we use DMC floss no. 8

Tie a triple knot on the end

where you will begin sewing.

Do a zigzag stitch

running the thread down the middle.

Keeep close to the edge.

Repeat the process on both sides of ruffle.

Both sides are ruffled.

Then take the thread and pull to gather up.

Gather both ends.
Lay ruffle right side up

and place pillowcase on top

with right side up with the 27"

running parallel to yourself.

Pin in place.

Then bring up the ruffle again

and roll the pillowcase up like to old pattern.

We are showing you

to bring the ruffle up and around.

Pin all layers.

Stitch in place.

Pull the case right side out.

Open up and press stitch

with right sides out 1/4" seam

across top and side then press

and turn right side out.

Sitich with right sides together 5/8".

This makes the french seam.
