Redemption!

You very well may remember that failed dye bath of mine. 

While I didn't get the results I wanted, I did get some mighty fine denim blue lace. 

I'm quite proud of this color, and I have never been a wasteful Wendy. 

So I decided to change my origanal plan for a silk and lace nightgown and instead make a lace and jersy Mallory Lane.

I'm quite proud of the way it turned out! 

Construction was a breeze. The only thing that gave me trouble was the wiggly FOE I was working with. But more detailed on that are on their way next...

Along with the Mallory lane I also constructed a lacy thong and some lace breifs. 

I used Fehr Trade's pattern and my own self drafted pantie pattern. 

I did edit the thong pattern a smidge to my friends measurements. I'm hoping now that I didn't make the crotch covering bit too long...

High waisted thong? Is that a thing? 

I'm sure it's a thing. 

At the very least it's a thing now, because I have one sitting on my coffee table! 

Homecoming and lace

My significant other invited me to homecoming and I didn't have a thing to wear!

Well I sorta did....

Oh hi mom

I had a swoonworthy skirt and a creme tank top. 

Not quite homecoming appropriate. 

I had a week and eight dollars.

so I decided on making a versatile overlay that I could wear to homecoming and with shorts in the summer. 

I picked up this lace at JoAnn's I used my handy dandy 50% off coupon and bought just a sliver

 (and used every scrap!)

I planned it out to be sleeveless and to drape over my shoulders with a head hole and two side seams. 

I layered my favorite tank top over the fabric with the folded end on the shoulder seam. 

Then I cut the lace ever so carefully and scalloped the neckline and straps

Like so~

Took forever! And boy was it terrifying... It felt like performing surgery.

But it was oh so rewarding~ 

I treated all of the scalloped edges with liquid stitch.

 It's a Latex fabric glue that's GREAT for treating edges and corners that seem weak to you. 

I highly recommend it.

All that I had to do was stitch up two seams!

Tucked in it's a classy overlay

Un-Tucked and it's got a killer Stevie Knicks vibe to it. 

Or maybe Stevie Knicks's grandma.

And it sparkles~
