Ruffle Tank from a Nightgown

Crafty Cousins' ruffle tank tutorial (12)

A few months ago, I got this little night gown off of the clearance rack for $2.00.

I HATE wearing night gowns, but thought I could refashion this into a cute tank to wear with a cardigan.  It was an easy project, and I love the end result!  :)

Measure the night gown with a tank that has the perfect length.  Cut it about an inch longer for the hem.

Use the part you cut off and cut them into 2” strips for the ruffles.

Decide where you want them, then sew a basting stitch along the top of each ruffle.

Pull the threads to gather the strips into ruffles.  I’m not as cool as Ash.  I don’t have a ruffler foot.  Sadness.

Pin the ruffles where you want them and sew them into place along the top of the ruffle.

Pull out the basting threads, and you’re done!

See how cute and fun!?  Oh yeah.  You need to hem it.  Need help with that?  Check this out.
