The other day I got a simple navy maxi dress and I thought it could look a little more pretty with some lace on it. Really should have done a before and after shot but I got too excited and just went for it.This idea could work on any t-shirt or dress that needs a bit of detailing.
Choose some lace from a haberdasher (if I'm making something like this I get about 2 meters so I have some leftovers to play with later.) the lace i used was a off white lace from Fabric Land (75p per meter)
Pin around the neck of the garment or wherever you want the lace to go.
Use a running stitch to tack the lace on.
then you have the option to use a sewing machine if you are confident with one or hand stitch using a running stitch. I hand sewed mine because my sewing machine hates me at the moment.
Very pretty, how much did the dress cost and what did you pay for the lace?
