Every season I try to learn a new technique. One of this summer's techniques was shirring. It's something that I always imagined to be so difficult but in reality was really, really easy. I mean, ridiculously easy. Even for me. As a result, Irene has a wardrobe full of shirred shirts this summer and of all of them, the shirt above is my favorite. Ok...or maybe the one below. I also got to to experiment with the different stitches on my sewing machine to embellish the top & bottom hem of the shirred shirt. Too bad it's almost impossible for a 3-year-old to keep a white shirt white!
