Welcome to my Fashion Friday post! I have been sewing with lace & denim this week...do lace & denim go together? I think so, it makes for a feminine edge type of look. I have always loved lace and have an appreciation for seamstress's that make beautiful dresses & gowns with it!

For my design I started by looking at different types of lace at the fabric store and was surprised as there were some beautiful floral lace that looked modern but I ended up choosing this circle lace that I liked as soon as I saw it.
I already had the denim from my Bleu Denim Dress and I made a straight skirt with a side zipper this time. This denim skirt is the underlay to the lace so it is a simple skirt.

For the lace skirt I was a bit nervous cutting into such fine fabric but I used the circles on the lace as a guide along with my own pattern to keep the cut straight.

This lace is a medium weight lace so it is actually feels warm when worn with the denim if that makes any sense at all!
I had to sew this a bit slower on my machine because the lace was a bit thicker than most of the lace I have seen or sewn with.
This is what I found looking for inspiration this week!
This gorgeous Denim Dress!
This is my Fashion Friday project for this week!

What a clever idea! Beautiful on you.
Very pretty! I love lace added to clothing!
I made a baptism dress for one of my daughters, it was white satin, with white lace on the bottom half of the dress. I sewed a white ribbon on the bottom of the lace. I swear it never looked even to me. Finally, I called a friend who sewed wedding growns, and I was informed lace is never even for hems. Man, that was I happy to hear that. I don't think I will EVER sew with lace like that again. Yours turned out fantastic.
Very Nice - so classy looking - thanks for sharing with us

I love the idea to combine denim with lace. You look perfect.
The lace fabric is TDF and your idea of using denim as underlay is genious!
