I finally got a chance to try out the shirring last night and made my daughter this top and headband.

Paige loves this top and has made plans for more. She's picked out all her fabrics this morning (just like her mother, she loves to pet the fabrics too :) ) for her summer tops.

Love it too cute! dd is so cute too. So did you just do a rectangle... how did you measure it? :O) TIA

My dd would love that. Great job.

What a sweet top! Very summery.

Cute, Pam! Love those bright summery colors - she looks like a flower against the greenery :) .

Cute!!!!

Wow, that is cute! Your daughter is just beautiful!

I'm loving that top, and your dd is beautiful! :)

Do you remember where you got the fabric? It's very pretty!

cute kidlet!! Great fabric!! My first shirring attempt is on the girls dols lol. I am going to give it a whirl again later this week lol

What a cutie :D

I've gotta try this shirring

That's adorable Pam! My DDs saw some in the store today and put in their requests :rolleyes: Your daughter has the loveliest complexion. I'm envious!

Becky~It's the whole width of the fabric and I measured 14" for the length. You can get away with 1/2yd or 3/4yd if you want the headband too. I made made 4 double rows of shirring, so there is space in between (approx. 1"), kind of giving a puffing effect.

Love it too cute! dd is so cute too. So did you just do a rectangle... how did you measure it? :O) TIA

That is very cute, I love the colors.

Lovely top and model! :)

Pam ~ The shirt and headhand are great. Your dd looks like she is very pleased. Can't wait to see what other prints she picked out to become new tops. :)
