  • Easy and fun! In this DIY video we will be jazzing up an old worn out top and creating a beautiful piece with layers of romantic vintage lace. This is fast and easy, a great tutorial for beginner sewists.
    This is a wonderful layering piece to accent a boho, hippie or lagenlook ensemble, or maybe you want to sell your creations (like I did for over a decade)!

    I've started sewing again because of your videos. I want you to know how uplifting you are and how you have inspired me. I love that you create beautiful items but you enjoy the slight imperfections. That's what gives me the confidence to do this because I always thought I had to make everything completely perfect. But the imperfections are what make it so amazing and beautiful. Thank you truly for what you do! 🤗

      Aww makes me so happy that you are inspired!!! Yes, tedious perfect sewing makes me crazy, so I like to make the imperfections look intentional and part of the 'look'!😘💕💕💕💕💕💕

    Such a sweet top!!! A lady locally posted a bunch of fabric with some lace pieces. I asked for a price on all of them, but now have to wait a whole WEEK to find out what all she has and how much she wants! 🥴😆 I would never be searching for so much lace before watching your videos!
    Thanks once again!

    I've been working through a lot in my head these past 18 months or so, and reached a place where it interested me in making an effort again with my self care around 6 months ish ago, and not long after discovered you! You've not quite transformed my entire life, but I tell ya, you're doing one hell of a transformation on my wardrobe! 😁
    I've always loved boho, shabby, non conventional clothes, but all I had was straightforward basics. Simple, serviceable, and nice enough, but plain. At least.... I did! I've transformed jeans, tops, dresses, and actually made (following other tutorials) brand new dresses, tops and skirts, but jazzed them up in your style. I've made a fabulous boho cross body slouch bag, working on a snippet roll style watch strap, and even cut and spliced fabric onto a pair of wedges!
    I'm transforming me, but you put a neatly shoed foot up my arse, to make me WANT to take better care of myself. And I am! And I intend to do even more of it and not lose sight of myself again! Any man destined to be in my future better have his shit together and treat me with the respect I deserve, because I'm not playing second fiddle to anyone any more!
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm so glad I found you. I appreciate you! You helped give me back a part of myself I forgot I once was, and you have no idea of the impact of that or what it means to me. It's almost pointless saying this top is gorgeous, everything you make is! But a jazzed up white vest - you can't really go wrong! Every wardrobe needs at least one cute white vest! And this one is perfect! 😘😘😘 xxxxx

By the way, I did the denim skirt, taking a pair of jeans and adding denim down the split jeans and itturned out beautifully! I also made some bell bottom jeans out of skinny jeans with lots of fraying! My husband thinks they are pretty darn sexy!❤🌷🇨🇦

    Im working on 3 that are similar to this one.. at one point they were my favorite..i didn't want to throw them away...but the stains were down the front.. i was inspired by the table cloth idea and found one of my grandmother's that was torn..and decided to use it..i think the hardest part was cutting into it.. ive alway been one to repair.. i decided to use just one piece acrose the front..it came out so cute , covered everything.. the only thing i noticed is that its weighty and pulls the front down a bit.. i may go back and put a piece along the back..
    The second fix I'm using the bottom of an old slip with beautiful embroidery..that should be enough to cover that indiscretion..
    And my third is in the wash trying to get that stain out with peroxide.. then I'll know where to put that row of lace..
    Thanks so much for the inspiration..
