A Shirring I Have Done, A Shirring I Have Done...

I have been doing shirring now for probably two or three months. It is so "hot" right now for summer. It is in all the stores, everybody is wearing them, they are in magazines and how to books, and they have been all over the crafty blog world for some time now. Well, like I said "I have been making them for awhile" I just haven't had time to take pictures and posted them.

It is a special little girls birthday this week and I know she would love one, so I made another one up today.
They are so easy and fun to make. The possibilities and creativity is absolutely endless. Just grab some elastic thread and some fabric and off you go. Sizing has been a lot of trial and error, but I think I got it now. So far, I made a terry swimsuit cover-up dress for Sunshine. The shirring makes the terry extra soft and cozy. I have also made a shirt size for Sweetpea and Sunshine. They like to wear it with jeans, shorts, skirt, capris. I will try and get pictures of them to show. This one above is sized as a dress. I can't wait to give it to her.
