Lace on things a la Anthro

Lace on things a la Anthro

When I look around for inspiration, sometimes I find things that look so fun and easy to copy right away. This is an example of one of those projects.A while ago I saw these lace-trimmed tees from Anthropologie:

 And this from Ruche:

So, of course I wanted to make one myself!  It looks so simple to just apply lace to an existing tee.
I started with this nice $2.50 Forever 21 tee and an antique lace doily for the lace.  It had stains on it but I didn't use the whole thing, so it was perfect for recycling into trim!

I used spray adhesive to put the doily where I wanted it and cut it into wedges of the right size and shape.  Then I sewed it down on the strongest parts of the lace.  I could have left it at that but I chose to do the cut-out thing, and cut out behind the free parts of the lace, kind of like on the first two Anthropologie tees I showed.  Here it is!

Have you done any cool lace-trimmed projects?
