Blue Lace Upcycle

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this blue eyelet lace dress at a swap and loved the color, but it was too tight. I loved the lace so much! I had to make something. A summer shirt it is!

Before and after.

The bottom of the dress was going to be the body of my new shirt. It was the biggest part of the dress and the prettiest. Win-win!

I had these 2 pieces to make straps. I wanted the flowers in the middle to be the front of my new straps.

 

I played around to get the straps even and stitched them in.

I had a top fit for a summer heat wave in no time. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
