Skirt and Embellished T-Shirt

I sewed this skirt for Ella and I wanted the shirt to match - I didn't want it to look like we just paired the skirt with a random t-shirt. So, Ella had this pink shirt - already gathered at the neck and sleeves - but the bottom was just straight - not the cutest with a ruffled skirt. So, I cut the hem off the shirt, then I "lettuce leafed" the edge. You set your machine on a tight zig zag and pull gently as you stitch along the raw edge and it makes this cute ruffle. Then, I added some 1/4 inch elastic at the waste so it gathered. I appliqued circles on the side from the skirt material. I am so excited at how cute it turned out! I must make another one!
