Shirr Thing For Spring: Day Five-Shirred Project Round Up

There are so many different ways to use sewing in your projects.  I really didn't branch out much to explore the different applications, but sometimes it's nice to stay in your comfort zone.  

If you are still looking for the perfect shirred project for spring/summer, here are a few fantastic options.

I love the shirred waist detail on this Polka Dot Mini Boden Knock Off, by Erin of Sutton Grace.  You can find her blog here, and the original post and tutorial here. (Craftiness Is Not Optional, is currently having some technical difficulties, and I had trouble viewing the original post, but check back for the tutorial).
