Ruffle Neck Onesie

It seems as though the whole sewing world is making knit ruffles these days.

I often wonder who comes up with idea's. My personal opinion is that there are no original idea's. One idea spawns a thought in another crafter, who tweaks it, which inspires another crafter to tweak it again, etc. etc. I love watching things like this evolve, I think it is so interesting.

So, here's a sneak peak at my tweak. I've been rufflin' my guts out getting ready for Mindy Mae's Market on Dec 4-5. These ruffles are actually made from ribbed knee high stockings. Go figure! Cut strips about an inch and a half wide. Sew the ends together to create one long strip, then all you have to do is bast down the center and pull your string. The trick to making it look so fluffy is to hand stitch the ruffle onto the onesie. That way there are no machine stitches to be seen. I would love to see what ruffley tweak you're working on....leave me a link.
