Lace accent shirt {{tutorial}}

Lace Accent Shirt Tutorial
(originally posted by me on Little Miss Momma June 29th)

I am not going to lie...I have been creatively stumped lately...just one of those months where I have so much going on thinking of a new tutorial was not at the top of my list. But then I remembered this cute little shirt I made for myself a bit ago and thought I would share that with you!
It is super easy to make and a sewing machine is NOT required...although I did use one ;)
- tshirt
- lace
- temp adhesive spray (not necessary)
- need and thread AND/OR sewing machine
1.) Start by trimming your lace piece to fit where you want it.
I wanted mine inside the pocket so I trimmed one of the petals off
2.) Lay out where you want your lace decal to go
* I decided to use the extra piece I cut off as an extra accent on the pocket*
3.) Spray the temp adhesive to hold the decal into place while you stitch it on
(not necessary but helpful)
4.) Hand Stitch OR using your sewing machine sew the decal on
*I hand stitched the small lace on the pocket and used the sewing machine on the big lace*
*this is what it will look like from the inside...I just did a simple line around the lace*
And that's it!!
Your done!
A simple adorable new top for summer!
*if using the temp adhesive make sure you wash your shirt before you wear it to remove the adhesive that is still on the shirt*

  Happy Crafting :)

  1. I love this shirt! When I first saw this tutorial on Little Miss Momma I was wishing I'd seen it sooner. I had literally just bought a shirt from Ann Taylor's Loft that looks just like this! Obviously, you are super creative and talented. Thanks for sharing b/c I love it...and I am going to make this in a different color than the one I bought!
