A Piece of Lace
Contents:
Grainline is less important in lace than in regular fabric but, most likely, your lace has a directional design… this IS important! Cutting mat and rotary cutter: If you can and the pattern allows you to do that , try cutting more than one layer of lace at the same time: On the sewing machine!
I love to use a clear presser foot to see thought it and better guide my fabric. What you absolutely need to do, is be careful with presser foot pointy ends that can get caught inside the lace tiny holes and create a real mess! When they slip through the mesh holes, they stay trapped inside and you end with a lace… with one more big hole! You can try with: I used it in my Couture Lace Skirt and my Sheer Plaid Top too, because I love how it gives a huge help in hiding raw edges and add strength to your project, stabilizing it and making it last longer.
Another great and clean way to finish a raw edge in sheers and lace; my tip here is turn the hem to the wrong side once to have a stiffer edge to work with. Cheat Sheet for settings… and pin it for future reference! To make a slightly flouncy edge, use 60 lb. Use a narrow zig zag to encase the line. Use only sharp pins and scissors, start sewing with a new sharp needle Use a straight stitch needle plate and a straight stitch foot to prevent your sewing machine to suck your precious fabric into the needle plate hole.
I took off my presser foot in the photo below, for better showing you the clean tape on the plate… you need to put it on to sew! Use tailor tacks instead of cutting notches. A tailor tack is a doubled length of thread run through the fabric. Use a contrasting color of cotton thread.

You can even line your lace, like I did in my Couture Lace skirt , treating each layer separately. Keep in mind that you need to finish your seam allowances in the better-looking way you can! Lace and sheers are not the easiest fabrics to work with but they will help you hiding flaws because of their draping nature. Work on the widest surface you have. Better sew with a bigger seam allowance and then trim off the exceeding fabric!

Paint lace with watercolors to create your own lace wall hanging.

The texture and the playful repetition kept me so distracted that it would take forever to eat my food. Blame it on the lace, right? There are so many possibilities with fabric, and the process of working with it is always magical and unique. The wall hangings I am sharing with you today are easy to make, inexpensive and oh, so much fun!

I made this one with my boys and they really enjoyed it. I hope you give it a try! Start by setting up a piece of your lace on top of a paper towel. We cut ours 12 in x 22 in, but you can go bigger or smaller depending on preference.
Place a dropper in each color, and invite the children to paint lace by squeezing drops on top of the lace. I have followed her for so long and her books have been such an inspiration, motivating me to embrace sharing art and creativity with kids. I have never thought of starting a seam with a scrap of thicker fabric and then the sheer… very clever!!! Use tailor tacks instead of cutting notches. Alberta is a great place to live. Discussions are not closed about this.
Bring in your sharpies! We used as many colors as possible. Avoid using black and brown. Fold the pieces over to create a smooth transition from neck to chest and cut those off. Once you have finished this, go ahead and stitch up the hem on the very bottom of your kimono. Flip that pretty kimono right-side out and wear it proudly! The thing about sewing pieces of your wardrobe is that they feel WAY more special than a store-bought this or that.
I made it myself. A lace kimono was one of the very first pieces of clothing I ever made for myself. It was so simple, yet the result seemed so polished and intricate! Wow, your lace kimono looks gorgeous!
It reminds me of a piece I had a few years back. Now I want to dig it out of the closet again! I would love to have one!!!! There is a place with relatively cheap fabrics that usually have TONS of options for lace, but I never had any particular project to buy them for. You definitely made this look so simple to do!
Honestly the end result is absolutely gorgeous. This kimono is absolutely gorgeous!
