Tuesday Trends: Ruffle-mania - how to add volume to aprons and skirts

ruffle-skirt-tutorial.jpgIf you've got a plain old skirt with no detailing on that's crying out for a 2009 makeover, why not give it a bit of texture and volume by adding ruffles? The style has been huge on the catwalk this season and it's dead easy to DIY.

One More Moore has a brilliant tutorial here on how you can get the look. She's used an apron as the basis for her pattern, but it will work just as well on a skirt. You can either use various different fabrics and prints as shown on the right, or keep to the same texture and shade for very different but equally cool results.

Awesome idea. I have so many boring old skirts I'd love to give a big of a bounce to!
