Description
My First attempt at Shirring….I used a video on youtube from Threadbangers!
If you look closely, I started out with the elastic thread on the WRONG side…LOL.
I like it still and will wear it this summer.
This was made from another african outfit I wasn’t crazy about! The fabric and colors are gorgeous!!
Material Notes
African Wax Print (Ankara) & African Tye & Dye (Adire)
