DIY: Lace Back Tunic
For this week's DIY project I decided to go through my stash and sew something from scratch. I haven't sewn anything from a pattern since I got my first sewing machine about 4 years ago. I feel like I'm horrible at pattern sewing and better at refashioning items. I always have trouble getting the sizing right but we all know that practice makes perfect and my goal is to sew something from scratch at least once a month. The first piece is a lace back tunic and I used a pattern fabric and black lace as the contrast for the top back. The fabric has been in my stash since I bought last summer when I attended the MimiGStyle conference. I used version C from the pattern.
Supplies:
fabric
pattern McCalls M6359
bias tape
pins
scissors
sewing machine
Outfit Details:
boots Crown Vintage | thrifted pants J Crew | hat H&M

Hey! I recognize that fabric! ;) So nice, and that's awesome that you're going to make more "from scratch" because the patterns fit you well! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah you picked it out and I copied. ;-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! The print fabric is great!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Love the lace detail you added.
ReplyDeleteThe lace is such a pretty little touch! The only thing I can sew is a button so I think it's awesome you can make all these things yourself :)
