What a Difference a Ruffle Makes…DIY Day #23

I can honestly say that today is the first day that I almost forgot my 365 DIY challenge.  Lying in bed at 11:03, it hit me.  Being the responsible individual that I am (some of you have coughed up a lung)….I immediately got out of bed and created the first thing that came to mind (AND that was super-speed-fast!)
The week ahead seems all business, so be prepared to see lots of curtains and dresses…unless I go off course, which is certainly feasible!
But for tonight – here is another little idea for a dish towel!  None other than: A RUFFLE!

I just simply cut a strip of scrap fabric (yes, you’ve seen this fabric before!).  Made a tube, turned it right side out, and made a ruffle.  Then, I just sewed it right on top of the dish towel.  Don’t forget to close the sides of ruffle!!!

Time: 11 minutes.  (Don’t tell my students, but I did not even iron this project!)

Cost: $1.50…that’s the cost of the dish towel.

So what are you waiting for???  I dare you to turn off the TV and make one of these…just use on of your old towels because this ruffle can really add new life to dingy things!!!
