DIY Demin Shirt with Lace Back

You are here: Home / Clothing / DIY Demin Shirt with Lace Back

August 15, 2013 By Rose Fine Crafts 2 Comments

Refashion your plain-Jane denim shirt into a classy-but-spunky shirt with lace back! This button-down shirt is like a Ralph Lauren shirt with some cheek. (So like Anthropologie). Lace is trendy. So, just do this project and be ‘en vogue’!

Suitable Lace Fabric

I did some research as to what kind of lace is available and would be suitable for this garment:
1.  Lace, By The Yard


Some lace is a wide strip, in which case you will have to stitch two width together. No big deal.

Use any of these lace fabrics that resemble the lace used for the demo –shirt, or better still, the ones that you like best.

Tip: if choose a stretch lace, you will have loads of additional possibilities (on what to make with the ‘leftover’… so double your order and ‘lace’ a handbag to match your shirt, for example. Or… something else..

Quick 1,2,3 How To Tutorial

1. Carefully cut the back out of a demin shirt that’s just too boring.

2. Either purchase lace fabric, or sew strips of lace together to make your own shoulders-width fabric.  Using the back of the demin shirt as a pattern, cut the shape of the back from your lace fabric. Tip: be sure to add seam allowances!

3. Sew the lace shirt back into the shirt.
