A Little Bit of Lace

Good evening!! Wow where does a day go? I feel like these days are flying by and I can't seem to stop them or slow them down. I can't believe it's September!!! Where did the summer go? We sure enjoyed our summer days to the fullest. I feel like every weekend we were running camping, to my parent's cabin, or visiting the in-laws up north. It's kind of nice to be home for a few weekends and re-group.

Today I am going to show you how to jazz up a dollar store onesie for a little girl. I bought this plain pink onesie a while back with the intentions of adding to it. I finally got around to it and I loved how it turned out. I simply took some lace, that didn't exactly match the color but pretty close, and hand sewed three rows of it onto the neckline. I could have used the machine but to tell you the truth I got lazy about switching threads and I decided that hand sewing wouldn't take that long. :) It cracks me up even admitting that to you. None the less it turned out just as I had imagined. My daughter was pulling at the lace for a few minutes when I put it on her but then she forgot about it. I loved how girly it looks on her. That is all for now, I hope this inspires you to try one out on a shirt for yourself maybe. Have a great night!!

F.Y.I.  this little girl will NOT let me take pictures of her anymore. She used to just sit there for me and then she started to walk....so hopefully you get the idea of what it looks like. :)
