Tutorial: Origami Dyed Ruffled Tube Top

Cathy from Trinkets in Bloom shares a tutorial at I Love To Create showing how to make her Origami Dyed Ruffled Tube Top. The ruffled tube top is refashioned from a plain t-shirt. She shows how to fold the t-shirt to create a cool geometric tie-dye pattern before making the few simple cuts and seams needed to make the ruffled tube top. If you’d prefer the security of straps, there looks to be enough fabric in the piece cut off the top to make a couple of thin straps. Go to I Love To Create to find her tutorial.
