Eyelet Lace Summer Tank

Yea! It's almost summer! 

I saw this adorable white eyelet lace tank top at Target,

 a part of their new Disney "Sonny With a Chance" line. 

I immediately loved it for Sidney.

I already had some eyelet trim at home,

so why not just make it!

Here's how I did it:

I found this plain white ribbed tank top at Walmart for $3.00

 I decided to buy a couple more yards of two other styles of eyelet lace, 

so that I had three different types. 

I cut the lace to a length 1 1/2 times the width of the shirt and then gathered each piece of lace.

I sewed the first piece of lace along the top edge of the shirt. 

First I measured 1" from the stitch and then pinned the next piece of lace in place.

 You want each piece of lace to overlap a little so you don't see the stitching and trim.

Sidney asked that I sew down the lace on the sides, 

I think I like it this way better too.

All set for summer!
