Hey Crafters!
Today I’m showing you some tips and trick for sewing with Lace. Depending on the type and design, it can be hard to decide what is the best way to sew and finish the inner seams to make a strong garment. I show you a few different ways with this top and am so happy with how it turned out! I have gotten so many wears out of it already......including in London! Check out my Instagram for more :) Let me know if you enjoyed this kind of video and leave any questions in the comments and I will do my best to answer them!

just found you when looking how to sew with lace. trying to make an unlined kimono! Thanks for tips

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Very nice!

[@TaDarling1]

Wow...as a beginner, I'm impressed with your sewing skills!!!!

[@nashrunner456]

Well done! I don’t think just anyone can wear this bright raspberry color but it looks great on you. Like the way you cut the fabric so the design is centered and your scalloped edges come together well at the seams. Very impressive!

[@mawugnotrop473]

So helpful, and beautiful top. Thanks so much.

[@leannsews]

Love your lace top. 😃

[@becauseimcrafty]

Thank you!

[@9catlover]

i love this. i want to get a very nice lace with bright coral stone, sea life embroidering and this pattern would look great...but i am not good with sleeves...want to try frill or handkerchief like sleeve so it can just cover my shoulder and arm hole to be discrete. This looks lovely on you.

[@becauseimcrafty]

Thank you!

[@valcollins1444]

This is the first time I've seen your channel. Loved the video and the lace top. Very pretty. I have a lace cover up pattern to sew or serge. Would you suggest using stablizer fabric for the seams so the machince doesn't pucker the seams?
Look forward to watching your other videos.

[@becauseimcrafty]

Welcome to the channel! Thank you for watching :) Adding stabilizer would definitely help! If the fabric or lace is more opaque it would be easy to hide. In my case I could have used a wash away stabilizer to make it slightly easier!

[@greaterinlife]

This is so pretty! Did you ever make a matching skirt?

[@becauseimcrafty]

I didn't! That would have been a great idea. I should see if the rest of the fabric is still in my stash. I still have this top and wear it often.

[@sallydingle321]

Beautiful top Katelyn 💞and great tutorial. It looks great on you and the scalloped edges were so lovely 😍. Hope you and Mum are having a great time in London....it's been very hot so hope you had plenty of cool clothes with you 😨👒☀😁😘

[@becauseimcrafty]

The weather was beautiful!! I couldn’t believe it! I loved my time there. Working on putting some videos together now :)

[@sallydingle321]

becauseimcrafty good to know that you had a great time and the weather was good to you. Looking forward to seeing your videos 😁👍😘

[@Sandy.Squirrel]

What do you have your sewing machine set at?

[@becauseimcrafty]

The stitch length is around a 3 (or 8-12 per inch) with a normal tension. Using a straight stitch!

[@arleneenriquez3814]

hello, what of type stitch did you use?

[@becauseimcrafty]

Straight stitch

[@natellareal]

I can not find tips how to serge lace fabric. In this video that part seems to be not shown as well. I see the actual serging but what settings did you use, what size of needle was not mentioned. My normal knit settings (for knit lace fabric) make lace gather and when ungathering it, all the threads getting unraveled.

[@becauseimcrafty]

If that's happening I would say your needle tension is too tight. That's probably making the tightening effect. When you pull it the thread is loosening, making the looper threads unravel. Try to use a needle size close to the weight of your fabric. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😁

[@natellareal]

@@becauseimcrafty thank you!

[@csims6788]

Great top but at that speed I learned very little. Be just as easy to read from a book. I thought this was an instructional video. Why the fast motion?

[@becauseimcrafty]

Getting used to editing! Also, the videos would end up being so long my laptop couldn't handle saving them sometimes. Still learning the editing software as I go. Thanks for watching.
