I like putting
lace on things--particularly vintage doilies as simple and easy embellishments for clothes and home decor. This time, I want to show you how I covered up some stains on a cute H&M dress I got at Goodwill. It was the half off color, so only $2.50, and very cute, but had a couple small stains and a grease spot on the front. It didn't look like anyone had tried to remove them, so I bought it and put some stain remover on, but to no avail. So, I had to cover them up.
I used my technique from some of my previous shirt embellishment tutorials--spray adhesive on the doily, zig zag stitch to attach it more securely.
Here it is!
And here's a shot of the inside...
I think I'll bring this dress along for my trip, too... the vintage off-white and ivory doilies are sort of reminiscent of the prairie look that goes so well with the South Dakota plains... Laura Ingalls Wilder lived there for a while, I think in the 1880s?
We leave for the long drive from Oregon to the Black Hills tomorrow morning and I must get to packing!
