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~
