Lace Trimmed Top

   I've got a lot of plain white strappy tops and some are getting pretty old, like this one. So I decided to add something to it to bring it back to life.
   Before adding the trim I soaked the whole thing in bleach as it was a bit grubby and had some random stains. It worked a treat.

   I sewed this lovely turquoise lace trim across the top of the shirt. I tucked the trim under the edge on the top and sewed along the existing stitch line to make it as neat as possible.

   I added the trim along the bottom of the shirt because it's a bit short so I thought the trim would add some extra length.

   I hand sewed the whole thing so I could hide the stitching, and I needed an excuse to catch up on episodes of Neighbours.


What do you think?

Crop top

I got the idea for this crop top from Sara on Prairie Hen. Check out her blog to find out how to make it. It's really simple.
She made hers out of an old dress whereas I made mine out of a net curtain.

Luckily the net curtain went through the sewing machine fine, otherwise this would have taken a lot longer to make.
I tidied up the neckline by sewing on some lace trim. I think it looks cute.
