If you are a devoted refashionista like me, you have craft supplies laying around everywhere. My dining table has become a permanent home to a sewing machine. The living room floor is where I lay out most of my patterns and fabrics, finding a pin or stepping on one is nothing out of the ordinary in this household.
Today’s refashion was inspired by a piece of lace trim that was on my dresser, aka make up table! I was going to use it in one of my refashions, but it turned out to be a complete fail (those happen to me too!), but I am glad it came in handy, because I think it turned out super cute! So here is what we are going to refashion today:
A Liz Claiborne Petite Large shirt. It’s so comfy, I love it! And even though it’s somewhat baggy, it’ll be staying in my closet for a long while!
And here is the stranded piece of trim, laying right there on my make up brushes case, like it belongs there:
Here is what we do:
Trim the lace to fit the pockets:
So it looks like this:
And now you are going to hand sew it on. Super easy and fast, took me only 5 minutes! Here is what it’s going to look like from the inside:
And the result:
I hope you enjoyed this easy, super chic, super girly refashion. I am sure that my obsession with lace trim is becoming more and more obvious with every refashion!
Happy Thursday and Happy Holidays!

So cool how just that touch of lace classes-up (is that a word?) this shirt! It takes it to a new level!

You are so creative and it’s amazing what just a little something can do for an ordinary piece. I think I could even do this – thanks for the idea!

Love the refashion..just a small touch of lace makes the top more feminine.
