Hi, guys! I’m so thrilled to be participating in Marie‘s Watch This Lace project! Marie is one of my absolute favorite bloggers, and I had such a blast making a garment with her precious vintage lace! Alright, enough chit-chat. Hop over to her blog and read my post here!
Man Friend: “You’ve got to get the gator head into your photos!”
While you’re at it, wish Marie a happy birthday! She celebrated her 30th yesterday– woohoo!

Very lovely top done with lace! And doesn’t look stodgy (old-fashioned) like lace sometimes can. Now, you need to make Doug a matching lace collar. 🙂

I love this mod of the sorbetto, I’m really impressed! Did you just rotate the bust darts up into the yoke and convert to gathers, or did you add some extra volume too?
Ooh you should do a post on your patternwork. I eat this stuff up (and I promise others do too!)
Also, this is such a subtle, beautiful look for the lace. So glad you didn’t go with black! 😀

Cute, cute top and fun feature! Looks like a wardrobe staple. I am so embarrassed I didn’t realise your name is not Ginger, I think I’ve been calling you Ginger. Apologies! For what it’s worth my name is really Elise and not Honig, so, nice to meet you Sonja!

Hahahaha, I probably should make that clear. I used an alias to keep my work buddies from finding the blog, but of course they found it somehow and tease me all the time (I work in a department where I’m the only girl out of ten people). I think most people think my name is really Ginger– I wish it was! 🙂

Thank you so very much! I can’t really get away with oodles of lace or ruffles, so a little restraint seemed like the only way to operate here. 🙂

There’s that gorgeous material, and I love what you did with it! I have a hard time finding ways to put lace on things, because my style isn’t all that feminine. This one hits the nail on the head for me! And gotta love the animal friends:)

Thanks, Miranda! I’m not very delicate or feminine either, so it was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to use this! But I’m a sucker for dotted Swiss for some reason. 🙂
