Lace is a textile product that is characterized by an ornamental design (the so-called openwork pattern) formed due to weaving.
Lace has a decorative value - it is used to decorate various clothes (cuffs, collars, women's underwear).
There are products made entirely of lace - dresses, blouses, shawls, capes, scarves, gloves, etc.
Lace is also used in interior design: as decorative panels, curtains, tablecloths, bed linen, and napkins. Perhaps, a better decoration that is pleasing to the eye and body has not yet been invented!
Creation and application of fabric
Lace making is one of the types of decorative and applied arts. Lace fabric is a very festive, beautiful material.
Elite evening dresses are usually distinguished by lace - at all times, lace clothing has been the prerogative of the elite. Until the first half of the 19th century, all lace was made by hand, so only members of royal families or very wealthy people could afford them.
After the lace machine was invented, the situation changed and lace became more accessible than before. Every fashionista considered it her duty to have a lace item or accessory in her wardrobe. Today this tradition has been preserved, especially in relation to underwear.
The process of creating lace fabric is a rather meticulous and labor-intensive task. Some manufacturers of high-quality French lace produce designer fabrics per year of only a few tens of meters. Such lace is very difficult to buy, since world-famous fashion designers, European monarchs and billionaires are lining up.
Handmade lace fabric is produced by knitting, weaving or embroidering. Machine-made lace has a more complex pattern, and sometimes less thickness - it is obtained by knitting, weaving or machine embroidery. A similar lace fabric is called guipure and is also popular.
A successful duet with flax
Kitchen curtains made of linen are an optimal and win-win option, especially if you prefer natural fabrics. They tend to bring a comfortable microclimate and a unique atmosphere to the premises.
Linen curtains have a number of undeniable advantages:
- do not accumulate static electricity;
- reduce the negative impact of radiation from electrical devices;
- act as a natural air conditioner (they provide coolness in the summer and heat in the winter;
- have bactericidal properties, suppressing kitchen pathogenic microflora.
Such curtains will suit any interior, regardless of the design style, be it Provence, classic cuisine or modern style. At the same time, the range of linen fabrics is very diverse, for example, a variant with a jacquard pattern (curtains made of this material will look great in the dining room, especially if decorated with lace, and curtains of a natural linen color are perfect for a rustic-style kitchen).
A few tips for choosing and caring for linen lace curtains
Some people believe that linen has no place in the kitchen, as it can create problems in caring for curtains, but this opinion is wrong. Linen curtains and linen curtains wash well. In addition, it is generally known that it is one of the most durable and durable natural materials.
Another important point. Due to its unique structure, linen fabrics are not susceptible to contamination as much as other types of fabrics. So there is no need to frequently wash such curtains and subject the lace decorating them to deformation.
Of course, they are not so easy to iron, however, if you dry the curtains in a straightened state and iron them slightly damp, this problem will not arise.
Another positive aspect. Since linen curtains in most cases have a very simple cut, sewing them can be easily accomplished not only by real needlewomen, but also by ordinary lovers of DIY sewing.
At the same time, these products need to be washed exclusively with suitable products on a special cycle. When machine washing, do not use a centrifuge, so that later the fabric can be ironed more easily.
If you want to visually expand your kitchen and make it more spacious, you need to choose a fabric with horizontal stripes. And to visually increase the height of the ceilings, you need material with vertical stripes. If you have several small windows in your kitchen, then it is better to make a solid curtain.
Lace will perfectly complement and decorate this fabric, adding grace and beauty.
If you decide to do your own tailoring, then on the Internet you can “spot” many options for every taste. A plain canvas can be supplemented with the following elements:
- knitted elements;
- lace or hemstitch;
- stuffing;
- embroidery, etc.
This combination can be suitable not only for a kitchen interior, but also for a room in the appropriate style and for a country house. With the help of such decorations, the simple texture of linen will become much more attractive and original, while remaining unique and inimitable.
Sew the lace to the fabric. Master Class
How to sew lace to fabric:
There are 4 master classes in this article:
1. Hems on thin fabrics
2. Stitches for sewing silk fabrics
3. Seams on lace polyethylene fabric
4. Devore velvet sewing technology
1. Hems on thin fabrics
There are several ways to hem the edge of a silk, cambric, or chiffon product.
Hem the straight edge with a Moscow seam
Bend and iron the edge of the fabric to the wrong side by 5 mm. Place a straight stitch close to the pressed fold. We select the threads exactly in color. 
Iron the hemmed edge. We bend the edge again to the wrong side and sew again, hitting the needle exactly on the first line. Iron the seam again. 
Hem the concave edge with a Moscow seam
This method is suitable for armholes and necklines, when you don’t want to weigh down a product made of thin fabric with processing. The samples show an imitation of the front armhole on five types of fabric: cotton gauze, thick suit cotton, linen, cambric and chiffon. 
We sew using a special foot, which successfully replaces the hemming “snails” used in production. 
First line we lay it using the main foot at a distance of 0.3-0.4 cm from the edge. 
Second line we lay it using a special presser foot 0.2 cm from the fold (the fold is along the previously made first line). If necessary, lightly cut the fabric, not reaching the stitching on particularly concave areas. Next, cut the seam allowance close to the second stitch (the pink swatch on the far right). 
Let's do WTO(wet heat treatment) of the concave section, pulling it back. Then, fold the edge 0.3 cm and baste it. We do not sweep straight or curved cuts, if experience allows. 
Third line we sew using a special foot, retreating 0.2 cm from the edge. The second line and basting can then be removed. Steam the edge without stretching it.
The stitching on the armhole in the area of the shoulder seam, made on the wrong side will look sloppy. Therefore, if there are transverse seams, we make the third line along the front side. If there are no transverse seams, we make the third line along the wrong side. 
On the front side, the edge turns out beautiful and does not stretch during wear. In the same way, you can hem the convex edge at the hem of a flared skirt. 
Hem the edge with a zig-zag seam
This method is usually used to process the edges of a scarf or shawl, but sometimes also the edge of a product (sleeve, hem of a skirt). We bend and iron the edge of the fabric to the wrong side by 7-10 mm. We sew a tight zigzag around the fold. 
Iron the stitched edge. Using sharp-tipped scissors, trim the seam allowance as close to the stitching as possible without damaging the thread. 
The result is a smooth, beautifully finished edge. This seam can be used to hem silk clothes, the hem of a light summer dress, flounces on thin and delicate fabrics, scarves and shawls. On sharp corners it is impossible to make such a stitch without interrupting the seam. Therefore, we leave long threads at the ends of the stitch, after hemming all the seams, we pull the threads into the needle and tuck them into the seam.

2. Stitches for sewing silk fabrics
Thin silks and transparent silk chiffons are sewn both by hand and on a sewing machine. Choose a very thin and sharp needle No. 60-70. The stitch length of a machine stitch should not exceed 2 mm, otherwise the seam will be unsightly.
Moscow seam
Above we talk in detail about processing the edge of the product using the Moscow seam. On silk fabrics, a problem can occur: the foot chews the material. To prevent this from happening, we use thin newsprint, which can be easily removed after the seam is stitched. This technique is especially effective on the corners of the part. 
French seam
The second name for the French seam is double reverse. It looks elegant and does not spoil the appearance of the product, whereas overlocking thin and transparent silks looks rough.
We sew the parts along the front side, trim the seam allowances to 0.5 cm.
Turn the seam inside out, iron it and stitch it, leaving 0.6 cm from the edge.
The cut will remain sealed in the seam - it will look neat on the front and back sides of the product.
Tip: you can lightly wet the edge of the cut with water, passing it between wet fingers, then the ruffled threads of the fabric will not stick out from the seam on the front side of the product. 
We direct the allowances of the two French seams at the intersection in different directions.
If a silk product does not have sleeves, first we process the armhole sections and only then sew the side sections with a French seam. This sequence will allow you to complete all seams cleanly and beautifully. 
Covering seam
Place the pieces right sides together and stitch along the marked seam line. Iron the seam allowances to one side.
We cut off the bottom allowance by 2/3 of the entire allowance. We bend the upper allowance and, wrapping it around the lower one, sew it. For a smoother edge, you can sew a guide line along the top seam allowance.
With this type of sewing seam, there is no stitching on the front side of the product, as with the usual sewing seam. 
Processing armholes on silk in a product with a sleeve
Sewing a sleeve into an armhole using a French seam is sometimes difficult and requires experience. Using an elastic soft mesh, you can trim the armhole cut with piping when the sleeve is already sewn in. Finishing a seam with a mesh is more aesthetically pleasing than overlocking and will not spoil the appearance of even a transparent product. 
Edging the edge of a silk product
There are a lot of varieties of silk - they differ in density, transparency, shine, the way the thread is twisted and weaved in the fabric. Choose the treatment that is most suitable for this type of silk
The simplest and most accessible is shown in the example of a sleeve cut.
We place the binding cut on the bias at the bottom of the cut. We attach it, passing the corner very close to the cut. We bend the seam allowance with tape, baste, iron and attach the edging. 
There are many ways to sew silk fabrics. Each time, carefully choose one or another type of processing, having first tried it on a piece of paper.

3. Seams on lace polyethylene fabric
Thin polyethylene lace fabric is used, as a rule, as the top layer of elegant clothing. On the Etro-inspired dress, viscose devoré jersey is chosen as a companion. In the process of stitching parts in our example, three types of seams are used: connecting lace to lace, to knitwear, and edge processing. The flesh-colored elastic lining is connected to the dress only along the neckline. It serves as the background in all photographs given in the article. 
French seam on lace fabric
Before starting work, put on a universal needle No. 80 and adjust the tension of the threads, stitching the sample at the cut edge. The seam should not pull the two layers of stitched lace together.
The French seam is described in detail above in the article Seams for sewing silk fabrics.
1. Sew two layers of lace fabric from the front side.
2. Cut the allowance close to the stitching.
3. Turn the seam inside out and sew 0.5-0.7 cm from the previous seam. 
Iron the seams. 
Combination of lace and knitted fabrics
Important! Making a seam according to the algorithm below is only possible on polyethylene lace.
Sew the lace detail along the outline of the pattern. Make sure that the stitching does not tighten the fabric. 
Trim the seam allowance to a width of 0.8 cm from the stitching. 
We melt the edge of the allowance with a lighter or over a candle. Be sure to try it on an unnecessary scrap to adjust the distance from the cut of the fabric to the fire. 
According to the pattern, we adjust the allowance of the knitwear part. 
We place the lace detail on the knitted one. We combine the line on the lace with the chalk line on the knitwear, fastening the layers with pins. 
We sew the details, entering the needle exactly into the stitch on the lace. Pay attention to the translucent allowance of the knitted part, we will work with it further. 
We turn the allowance on the knitted piece so that it is not visible from the front side. We use a zigzag seam along the previously laid straight lines. We trim the knitted seam allowance from the wrong side without damaging the stitching.
Important! We select the stitch width and length of the zigzag stitch experimentally specifically for your lace, sewing samples. 
Front view of several parts stitched using the seams described above. 
Processing the open cut of lace fabric
This method is used to process the edge, it can be the bottom of the dress and the flounce of the sleeve. After processing, the edge becomes similar to the edge of fabric. We sew the part, stepping back from the edge by the width of the allowance, making sure that the stitching does not tighten the fabric. Then we go along the same line again with a zigzag stitch and trim the seam allowance close to the line. 
Melt the cut.

4. Devore velvet sewing technology
Modern fabric production technologies make working with them much easier. Chiffon-based velvet is now produced with such a thread composition that it can be decated in any way and ironed with steam on the reverse side.
If you have antique “pan-velvet” in your supplies, ironing with steam is possible only on the wrong side on a backing made of velvet, cardstock or terry towel.
Be sure to check on the scrap how your fabric behaves during WTO before you start working with it.
In our example, we used devoré velvet from the project “Velvet dress based on Valentino.” 
Fabric composition: 50% natural silk, 50% viscose. The fabric is decated and then processed using the sizing method, which is described in detail in the article. The photo shows the fabric after decating and processing. It has not lost its plasticity, but has acquired the necessary stability, which makes cutting much easier. 
Duplicating devore velvet parts
Duplicating velvet parts with adhesive materials is undesirable. One of the ways is duplication with thin knitwear. We cut out the parts that we duplicate from knitwear, fold the velvet and knitted parts, trace the pattern with chalk and baste. 
We sew knitwear and velvet parts to the width of the allowance. Cut close to the stitching and overcast the edges. Then we work with each duplicated part as if it were a single-layer one. 
We sew and iron the details of the product. 
Finishing the edge with organza ribbon
A straight cut of velvet can be treated with a finished organza ribbon 1 cm wide. We attach the ribbon to the front side, aligning the edge of the ribbon and the cut. Sew along the edge of the tape located further from the cut. Trim the fabric to half the width of the tape. 
We bend the tape to the wrong side and baste or pin it with pins. We attach the tape along the second side. 
Processing the neckline and armholes with bias tape
We sew the finished bias tape to the neck without bending anything on the tape. We sew, stepping back from the edge by the width of one folded edge of the binding. 
Fold the binding to the front side and sew the seam to the edge, simultaneously sewing all the allowances.
We lay the second line along the duplicate layer. If it is not there, sew the second side of the binding to the main part. 
Neckline finished with bias tape.
Internal sections
A cut of devoré velvet is subject to severe fraying. If overcast, it looks unattractive due to the unevenness of the fabric in thickness. Therefore, it is best to use a linen seam or, as it is also called, a French seam. We reinforce the dart with organza ribbon, in this case it can be overlocked with an overlocker. 
We thank the author of the lily-56 project for the MK and the choice of fabric in our store.
Sometimes there is something in the wardrobe that is almost new, but not loved and therefore not worn. What to do with it if it’s a shame to throw it away? You can decorate it with lace, and it will “sparkle” in a new way. We will talk further about how to update clothes using lace with your own hands. Lace is the easiest way to decorate any wardrobe item and give it a new look.
Clothing, be it a dress, skirt or blouse with lace trim, is suitable as a festive option, as well as for every day, if a woman is used to always looking great.
How to update a blouse with lace
Sew a lace strip over the blouse. On the chest, instead of a yoke, on the back, along the bottom of the blouse, along the edges of the sleeves - everywhere a strip of lace will add elegance, and a plain blouse will become more interesting. Even a shirt will do for this purpose.
The lace inserts on the cuffs of a formal shirt look amazing
The strip can be sewn onto a blouse both vertically and horizontally
The whole charm of the outfit is in the small lace details. The lace insert for the back is just brilliant!
Pay attention to the combination of colors of the blouse and lace, and the texture of the fabric (it would be better if the blouse is made of a simple, solid material). The contrasting combination of shades of a blouse and lace looks very beautiful.
The second option is to sew in lace. You need to cut the blouse and sew a lace strip: along the entire length of the front front or along the back, on the sides of the blouse. Sleeves with lace in the middle also look nice. We decorate the blouse with lace along the edge of the neckline, after making the neckline of the blouse a little deeper.
Here are some more options. For example, sew lace with an overlap onto the fabric.
For lightweight fabrics, use other sheer fabrics, such as organza, instead of lace.
Lace inserts can be used on the back, neckline, sleeves, and shoulders
Lace on pockets and cuffs
You can leave only the main part of the blouse, and replace the top (yoke) with lace, fortunately now in stores you can find very wide lace stripes or you can use guipure fabric. You can even use a T-shirt as a base.
With the help of lace, you can create an optical illusion - visually reduce your waist and emphasize your bust, as is done on this dress.
Contrasting lace top and black belt added accents to the outfit.
Lace collars and cuffs will add femininity and charm to the look
You can update a T-shirt or blouse with your own hands by sewing lace in several rows - flirty and festive.
Lace ruffles on the neckline are a good option for altering a blouse or dress.
How to update a skirt with lace
With the help of lace, you can update any detail of your wardrobe, including a skirt. In addition to transforming your skirt, this is a great way to lengthen or widen it. The easiest option is to sew a strip of lace onto the hem of the skirt. A more complex option is to sew in a petticoat with lace trim. The lace will coquettishly peek through the bottom of the skirt.
The wavy edge of the skirt combined with lace looks amazing and very original!
How to transform old jeans with lace
Lace inserts on jeans are another way to make a statement. You can simply sew lace on top, sew it on the sides, or cover torn holes with lace.
We hope our ideas have inspired you to remodel! Getting a new and original thing is much easier than it seems - you just need to show your imagination and put in a little work. Share your ideas with your friends, they will be delighted!
172846 10/02/2019 7 min.And the most wonderful dress sometimes needs reconstruction: has it shrunk after washing, has it turned out to be uncomfortable to wear, has the hem been damaged (torn, stretched out, has a stain), is it something that has retained its appearance but has not had time to “grow” with the teenager, or does the style need to be remade for .
Get the outfit, material, sewing tools. Activate your sewing talent and get ready to create magic!
There is a more labor-intensive, but interesting option, when the lower part of the skirt is cut off as evenly as possible at a level of 5-10 cm from the hem. The insert is used to reconnect the cut to the main part.
Sometimes an additional scattering of rhinestones, sequins or beads is used in lace knitting. A dress with such decor may well be suitable as a dress.
Sometimes ultramini length is unacceptable - use light lace
Translucent canvas adds solemnity and gloss to the image
Playing with contrasts: an additional stripe
If you need to add about 10-20 cm to the length, use a similar fabric in a contrasting color: sew a white or bright yellow stripe to black, and black to red. You can get creative by making a canvas of stripes of different colors and widths. The simplest thing, if the texture of the product allows, is to connect thick satin ribbons.
An original way to lengthen an outfit is to wear a strip of artificial elastic leather (matte or patent leather) or translucent fabric.
As an option, make the bottom variegated, but for harmony you should add an element from the same fabric. This outfit can be ideal if you choose.
Inserts on the sleeves and along the hem look organic and interesting
The first method is at chest level:
- make a brooch in the form of a decorative bow or flower;
- tie an elegant scarf around your neck, like Maya Kristalinskaya’s;
- attach a patch pocket;
- sew buttons covered with fabric for insertion.
The second way is to transform the sleeves by changing:
- the length of the insert, similar in color or style to the one that will be placed along the hem;
- cuffs, completely replacing them or creating new ones;
- style, adding patch pockets;
- button tightness.
The black insert made the knitted outfit more stylish
We work at waist level
Changing the length of an outfit for one reason or another is possible not only along the hemline. More labor-intensive, but no less interesting work is also possible along the waistline.
When transforming a sheath dress, difficulties will arise with altering the darts. They need to be unraveled and a yoke made of fabric similar to that from which the product is sewn.
If the skirt is wide, then it can be easily pulled down. The simplest thing is to take a thick knitted fabric and sew it between the upper and lower parts of the clothing, which can be separated by a belt. It is extremely important to know how.
The ideal insert can be obtained from a piece of fabric identical to the main product
The upper part of the insert should correspond to the waist circumference. The bottom one needs to be taken a little wider. It is better to make the insert from two trapezoidal pieces. Then the item will fit well.
A yoke is not necessarily a rectangle. The central part of both the upper and lower sections is sharpened, and at the same time appropriate changes are made to the cut of the product.
Look for incredibly stylish formal dresses that suit all body types.
Shuttlecocks
Fluffy ruffles are ideal for a straight skirt or a tight knitted outfit.
The flounces and train are an excellent tandem
Shuttlecock mounting options:
- directly along the front side of the skirt, when the cut lines of the flounces are decoratively processed and remain outside, the hem line appears under the insert;
- The upper cut of the flounces is attached to the skirt from the inside. The hem will be on the front side;
- the edge of the hem and flounces are aligned on the front side. The connecting seam will be on the inside.
Flounces are obtained by loosely casting the edge of a rectangular fabric onto a thread and then attaching it to the main fabric. You can make one layer or several.
Translucent case
The translucent case is sewn from the appropriate material - organza, chiffon. A rectangular cut can be stitched along the edges and sewn to a thick elastic band, which can be easily hidden under a decorative belt. But it will take more time and effort than a case.
A translucent case will transform even the most modest outfit
You can make a translucent wrap skirt with a wide belt that wraps around the waist. This will add lightness to your outfit. Particularly well suited.
The element creates the illusion of length and looks very original.
How to beautifully lengthen a knitted dress
Knitwear tends to stretch. Therefore, an outfit made of this material must be lengthened either through a cut at the waist with a corresponding insert, or through a neat extension of the hem.
The insertion method is also suitable for knitwear
It is important to pay attention to the weight of the piece being sewn: the knitwear will not support the fabric that is too heavy and will sag.
The work is performed with special needles for knitwear. Otherwise, holes will appear first, which will eventually turn into arrows.
For natural knitwear, for example, the insert fabric should also be non-artificial. In cases where only a few centimeters need to be added, elastic lace is added.
Modern craftswomen and beauties will be interested in reading about fashionable staple dresses in the Russian style.
If you are good at crocheting, you can turn the outfit into a masterpiece: using the hem threads as a base, tie the lace to the required length. If you have the skills and the design matches the model, pay attention to Irish lace, where separately knitted elements come together to form a unique pattern. Using the same materials, you can...
Short knitwear will be decorated with expressive lace
A knitted dress looks great, tailored exactly to your figure, with a light fluffy skirt made of chiffon, tulle, or organza.
You can also make a case from translucent fabric, shortening it at the front. If the fluffy one is a petticoat, then the “tail” is sewn on with flounces, and its base is fixed to the petticoat.
How to lengthen a wedding dress
The most difficult option is with full skirts.
How you can change your wedding outfit without spending extra money
But it can also be extended:
- sewing an additional layer of matching lace along the bottom row;
- slightly embroidering the junction of the corset and the skirt, if necessary, a strip of fabric is delivered there;
- an additional layer of tulle sewn directly onto the petticoat will make the dress both fuller and longer.

This video will tell you how easy it is to lengthen a dress with your own hands.
Even without special skills, it is quite possible to completely sew or transform an item by hand using a small piece of fabric and scissors. Show a little imagination and get an original new dress!
In order to work correctly with lace fabric with a delicate structure, it is important to remember some subtleties.
How to sew the ends of lace
Place one end of the lace on top of the other, aligning the pieces of the design as closely as possible so as not to disturb it. Sew the ends by hand, placing small over-the-edge stitches along the top motif. Carefully trim off the excess fabric under the sewn ends.
How to sew lace using a sewing machine
Coarser lace should be processed this way. Place it right sides up on top of the fabric and pin it together. Stitch along the straight edge of the lace.
From the wrong side of the fabric, carefully trim the seam allowance as close to the stitching as possible. Finish the cut with a small zigzag, laying it from the front side so that it covers the first line of the stitching.
How to gather lace
Some types of lace braid have a special thread, by pulling which you can gather the lace into small folds. If there is no such thread, sew a series of wide straight stitches as close to the edge as possible, either by machine or by hand, in the same way as you would gather regular fabric.
How to Sew Lace Trim by Hand
If you are working with thin lace and fabric, it is best to sew the lace on by hand. Baste the trim to the right side of the fabric along the seam line. Trim the seam allowance on the fabric to 5mm. Roll it up into a tube and sew it with over-the-edge stitches, catching the lace. Remove the basting.
To sew lace to an already finished edge of the product, butt the trim onto the fabric, aligning the edges of the fabric and the lace. Sew with small stitches. Similarly, you can connect two pieces of lace.
How to lay lace on corners
There are two methods for placing lace on the corners. First: fold the lace crosswise with the right sides facing in and sew both layers with a diagonal stitch at a 45° angle. Trim excess fabric and press seam. Second: gather the lace where it is sewn to the corner of the fabric.
You can finish it with lace or using wavy braid, as in this duvet cover, the description of which you will find on our website.
And if you want something more unusual, then you can purchase 3D bed linen by going to posteliv.ru/postelnoe_bele_3d_ivanovo/. There is a huge selection of bed linen for every taste and the best prices.
How to sew straight and figured lace
Lace inserts look very impressive. If you are making a panel of straight lace, baste it to the fabric with the right side facing up. Sew close to each edge. From the wrong side, cut out the fabric under the lace, fold the edges and hem them with an over-the-edge seam.
Sew on the figured lace by hand. Place it right side up on the fabric and sew small stitches along the curved edges of the lace. From the wrong side, cut the fabric and hem its edges.
How to sew lace into a seam
This method can be used when sewing lace into the seams of a product or finishing collars. Pin the lace to the fabric, right side up, so that the straight edge of the lace is slightly on the seam line, and the outer edge is turned inward. Baste the lace.
With the right sides facing in, place the second piece of fabric that is being sewn on top of the previous one, on top of the seam and lace allowance. Pin, baste and stitch the piece. It is very important that the stitching is neat so that the lace trim will be captured evenly into the seam.
You can make a narrow hem on the lace and hem it by hand. Another way: attach a facing made of a narrow strip of fine mesh or organza to the wrong side of the lace. To do this, trim the hem allowance, leaving 1 cm, sew the facing with a seam allowance of 1 cm. Turn the facing inside out and sew it with a blind seam. Iron.
