cut t-shirt fabric into long strips
then sew them into ruffles
because t-shirt fabric is stretchy it is really easy to make ruffles, you need to stretch the fabric out at the sides while pushing forward at the same time, this creates the perfect t-shirt fabric ruffles with out having to mess around pulling threads
then you need to pin the ruffles on to the fabric in a chevron pattern, i used a drop cloth for the rest of the pillow
the use the sewing machine to stitch them on.
This is just adorable!! I love ruffles! and this is just perfect!!

HEY QUICK QUESTION? WHAT TENSION DID YOU — USE AND IS THE FABRIC BLENDED OR WHAT? DO YOU JUST CUT STRIPS OUT(NOT SURE HOW YOU KEEP IT FROM RAVELING) THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.
