Also for Christmas, I got a box full of old French lace, like proper old stuff from the junk shops you find. I ironed and pressed them, and then I knew what I was going to do. I have a checkered blouse from New Look (Generation) and it’s quite vintage looking, so I decided to add something else to it. So, this isn’t a tutorial, but it’s so you can some inspiration….
My box full of Vintage Lace, all nicely pressed…. there are so many varities of patterns and sizes to choose from! I even found an old not inside it! It said… (In French of course…)
Please may you give my husband 2m of this lace, and of this lace. Thank You.
Excuse the bad nails… and, this is just of me sewing…
I used cream cotton to sew as the blouse had the same colour in it anyway, so it worked well.
SPARKLE! (Sorry, I had to add the effect to it!) These are just basic long golden sequins, which were quite easy to sew on but very fiddly! You can get these from John Lewis (I find their Fabric section is great for bits and pieces) or any Arts store.
That’s what it looks like on… but here’s some more pictures…
Voila! The finished product! It took me about an 1 hour I would say, because some of it was pretty fiddly, but I did it all myself! YAY!
