Both sides of your sleeves should now look like this.
If you want just ruffle sleeves, you could leave the sleeves like this and skip these next steps.
Now grab your long sleeves and pin those into the sleeve insets, just like you did with the ruffle. Just make sure ruffle stays inside.
Sew the long sleeve in. Repeat for the other side. Now it should look like this on both sides.
This shirt is really cute the way it is but I wanted to add the ruffle heart. It's a lot easier to add any applique before you sew the shirt closed.
I cut a heart shape out of another tshirt I had sitting around. You can cut it out of your red shirt, I just did it out of another one because it's thicker jersey and I wanted it a little stiffer.
Cut 3 strips of red jersey about 2 inches wide and about 7 inches long. I can't remember their exact size because ruffles are not an exact science. Plus I had quite a bit leftover.
Ruffle those strips like we did with the ruffle sleeves. Shape each ruffle to the heart, pinning each layer and then sewing it down.
Before we cut the excess off the heart, stitch around it to hold your ruffles down.
Cut the excess of your heart now and you should have a cute ruffly heart!
Since the heart is the same color as the shirt, I wanted to add a white ruffle to make it stand out so I cute 3 strips out of my white tshirt. Sew them together into one long strip. Ruffle it!
Pin it all around the heart making sure to catch the heart, the ruffle and your shirt as you pin.
Sew it down. You're almost done! ;)
Your shirt should look like this now. Next let's hem the sleeves!
Iron the ends of each sleeve on top (so the sleeve turns up) about 1/4 inch and then again about 1/2 inch.
Sew down the top and bottom of your fold, creating a nice finished look.
Note: I cut my body pieces out so that they would use the original hem of the shirt but if you didn't, now would be the them to hem it.
With right sides together (in other words, your shirt is inside out) pin from the sleeve, down the side of the shirt to the bottom. Pin the other side and sew down both sides.
Congrats! You're done! Now grab your phone and tell your friends! ;)
