This week's DIY project is all about lace. I bought some black lace fabric about 2 months ago and I decided to put to use this past weekend. After searching online for some project ideas with lace, I came across this cool top which also included a DIY tutorial. It's pretty easy and requires absolutely no sewing which means you can try this at home.
Supplies:
shirt
lace fabric
chalk or marking pen
scissors
pins
heat bond
iron
shape template (optional)
Turn the shirt inside out.
With the chalk mark the shape of your choice. You can also print out a shape and use that as a template.
Cut out the shape as marked on the shirt.
Pin down the piece that you cut onto the lace fabric.
Cut the lace around the shape with an extra 1/2 inch allowance.
Remove the pins and place the right side of lace face down onto the wrong side of the shirt.
Follow the directions to apply the heat bond using the iron.
Cut off the excess fabric.
How do you feel about having lace added onto your clothing?

Hey Mo, this is so pretty! I love how you combined lace and stripes I would not have thought of that! I love how you paired it with the sweater and jeans, and those boots are so cute!
Oh my what a great DIY, I love how you continued the stripe across the lace. And love how you styled it as well. Again I could totally see this item selling in a store like Zara.
i've seen this done before, but i like your take on it... to do the lace back as a triangle, paired with the stripes. i think you need to write a book with all your DIY's ... and i will expect you to autograph my copy! x
I love the idea of adding lace to a shirt. Adding lace adds a tab bit of sexiness and elegant. Love this look on you and those boots I want and I need!!
Wow, looks great! I love the geometric details of the triangle panel on the striped shirt.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite so far! I love how the shirt turned out and how you styled it. The leopard belt really adds a nice texture.
