  Step 1

  Take your 3 oversized T's and cut them to the length of ruffles you want. I did mine with 18 inches, 12 inches, and 8 inches. I added 2 inches to the top (shortist) layer for a foldover seam (in the end it will be 6 inches).

• 

  Step 2

  Now you should have three tubes. Put the middle one over the long one and the shortist on top.

• 

  Step 3

  Take the shortest layer and fold it over to the other layers (this is why you cut it two extra inches).

  Make a slit in the folded over area large enough to slip your elastic into.

  Sew arround to attach all four layers.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut elastic to your waist (or hip depending on where you want it to hit) size + 1/2 inches.

  Insert elastic into the slit made in the previous step.
  HINT: Easy way to get elastic all the way arround: attach a saftey pin to the insert and slide it through.

  When the elastic edges meet, sew them together (this is why you added 1/2 inches).

• 

  Step 5

  Sew up the slit so you can't see the elastic any more.

  BINGO!!!! Turn rightside out and it is done.
