Crochet Trim and Harts Winner!
April 12, 2010 12:28 pmI have ALWAYS loved crochet and lacey trims on tops. I think they are so feminine and can make a t-shirt so much more exciting.
I have been trying to think about way you can find trim to add to tops. I found these great finds at the flea market this week. This great old doile…
…adn this crochet pillowcase.
I cut off a strip and sewed it on to this t-shirt. Isn’t it lovely?
All you do is pin it and stitch it directly on!
THEN!! I went in to Harts this week and found this!
They are selling an array of crochet bibs This was only $5! Think about this on a T! I don’t think they are on the website but if you call them I’m sure they can ship one to you! How beautiful is that?
Finally, the randomly chosen winner of a yard of fabric from Harts is….
Melissa Wingo!!

That’s really cute! I have a question, how do you keep it from falling apart once you cut it off from the rest of the doile?

I love the crochet trim too! That would make such a cute tank! Melissa

I used a zig zag stitch so all the ends were bound down!

I love crochets!!! I just went through my mom’s clothes (from when she was my age) at my grandma’s and I came across some insane dresses (both crochets and embroideries)! So excited!
But I love how you cut off a strip of that fist crochet pillowcase and zigzag stitched it so it won’t fall apart. I’ll have to try that. It looks great on the T.
Hugs, Erika

I absolutely LOVE the t-shirt with the doily piece on it! It gets me to thinking: don’t have any old doilies, but I could just make crochet something similar and sew it on a shirt…. Well, I know what my next project is going to be.
