Ruffled Knit

I must say that "I" should not laugh when taking pictures.  This was the first picture, then we got to laughing, I took a second picture and
low and behold I shook the camera and it blurred.  Judy has the most incredible smile, an I blurred it, so you get the see her little smile.

OK, now for the ruffled top.  She had decided that it was going to be cut diagonal, them hubby stepped in and said "do it in a chevron" 
so, long story short, her new top is done with a "chevron stripe look".
The back was cut with the ruffles going around, so at the front hem, she cut and attached a straight ruffle to the bottom.  She used her basic Kwik Sew 2900 pattern.

This is her second ruffled top.  When she finished the first she said,
I love the top, but what a pain to work with.  Janet has also worked with the ruffled fabric and she suggested that Judy try using a glue stick to secure the ruffles at the stitching line.   Judy's comment on the
second ruffled top  " What a difference the glue made, this one was so much easier".   

GREAT TIP JANET AND GREAT TOP JUDY.


THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR SHARING.
