Spring Top Tutorial: Flamenco Ruffled Tank, Spring Top 1


I found some tank tops on sale at two for the price of one so I bought them.
I wanted to make some sort of ruffly top for spring so this is how I made the 
Flamenco Ruffled Tank

I drew lines on the tank to guide my sewing.
I cut up the other tank in strips the same a little wider then the lines I drew so they would overlap a little when I sewed them down. Then I made each ruffle strip about 3 times the length of each line I drew, ruffled them by gathering and sewed them down.
