You may remember this length of vintage lace I bought the last time we were in Walla Walla.

It took forever to find a tank top in the style I knew I wanted to use this with.  It certainly didn’t help that winter meant very few shops have had tank tops until recently.

I unfortunately had to lose a good portion of the design to properly anchor the lace to the neckline.

I ended up cutting the lace in two but if the neckline weren’t a v-neck I could have sewn it like bias tape to the edge.

& then joined the two sections at the V.

I’m sure I’ll do this again with some of the lace and edging I picked up at the swap a few weekends back–if I can get my hands on some more plain tops.

I also finished up a couple of pouches–and really had fun adding embellishment to these:

& Marie Amie with a fun little skirt of eyelet.

Both are in the shop.

Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
