Tutorial - Beautify A Boxy T-Shirt With Lace

One of my favorite things to do is to recycle and upcycle clothing to make something useful out of them or beautify them as I did with this shirt.

I had this aqua t-shirt for my daughter but it was too boxy and not quite girly enough so something had to be done:)

I had this beautiful remnant of delicate lace and gathered it along the top edge (ideally you want to have about twice the length of lace as the neckline is wide):


I cut my t-shirt's neckline off:

Pinned the lace to the front (if you have enough lace you could go all around):

I sewed the lace on with a slight zigzag stitch AND sewed elastic thread all around the neckline to give it some "peasant" style:

Not enough yet! I also cut off the sleeve edges:

And sewed elastic thread along the unfinished egdes. Unfinished edges are in right now:)

That's my daughter's t-shirt now!

What'cha think?
