DIY project: Lace inserts in shirts

Posted by By

Posted in Shirts / Blouses / T-shirts / Tanks

Ok I really like this idea, to cut out a section of camisole and then add in some lace or other decorative trim (crochet might work.)

This shirt is really cute but I don’t think I could spend $70 for a wife beater when I could buy some for $5 and add to them myself (I don’t think the smushed boob look here isn’t a good one either but I think that’s the result of a bad choice in tube bra.) If you think these shirts are worth $70 or you simply have no time or any sewing skills whatsoever, here’s the link: http://www.graeyny.com/whitelacetank.html

Otherwise I think it would be a really great, easy and cheap DIY project. I’ll let you know if I end up making some. 🙂

PS – note the new addition to the comments on the site. It’s called recaptcha and it’s really useful, really easy to install and it has basically gotten rid of spam comments for me. Oh, and I will be killing the promo section of this site in the near future … I haven’t been able to keep it up to date plus it didn’t help to get hateful comments by some people (chewing me because a code that was over a year old didn’t work … let’s see… not my fault a code over a year old doesn’t work so there was no need to take it out on me. I basically haven’t bothered TRYING to do the coupons and promos since then.)

White Skirts

So versatile and classic … I bought 2! Both I bought on ebay for a steal and I’m loving them.

One is an Ann Taylor Loft white eyelet skirt, it’s a classic a-line skirt that falls just below my knees.

The other is a brand I haven’t heard of before. It’s a tiered “peasant / boho” style skirt that falls just a little lower than the other. I made sure I picked one that didn’t look like it had too much volume to it and was more like an a-line skirt as well so it doesn’t look like a skirt that missed being part of a batch of tie dye. 🙂

I have quite a collection of polo shirts (I didn’t really mean to have so many … they’re just easy to buy and wear) – these skirts help to make them just a bit dressier than my usual of pairing them with nice jeans. And since the skirts are white and basic and go with ALMOST all tops I should be able get a few good years out of them just like my jeans.
