Dollar Store Ruffled Bubble

       

Well here was my dollar store challenge over at SYTYC last week!

So I think I spent more time wandering around in the Dollar Store than I did working on my project this week!!!  Who knew there was so much in that store and in such a small space.  I think I was in there wandering the isles for at least two hours with a baby on my hip... whew!

Okay so here is my project, inspired by the wonderful warm weather around my parts.  We needed a new summer bubble for my new crawler.  Who doesn't love to see chubby legs in the summer time!!!  They are so sweet.

So using a pattern, I cut two super soft $1.00 shirts, extending the straps so they would tie on the shoulders.

I added a ruffle across the chest using scraps from an old shirt.

And lastly, I ruffled the edge of the legs using a zigzag stitch and add buttons for the closures from the same old shirt.

Simple but practical.
