One of the prettiest details you can add to a project is lace or lacy looks.
Angela Wolf starts the show with the final lesson of the Linda tunic Sew Along and changes the sleeve to lace.
Her idea for adding sleeves made from lace yardage is ideal for adding a whole new look to this top. I'm thinking this would be a nice addition to a summer jacket as well.
In this particular case Angela mixes a casual knit cuff with the lace sleeve on the blouse. Not necessarily what you might think of for standard styling but when you see the result, I'll think you'll agree that it works!

Next up you'll see my Stitch Stacking tips.
Blending, combining, and stacking decorative stitches adds interest to any project. In this segment you'll see how easy it is to make use of the beautiful decorative stiches built in to your machine.
I had a lot of fun creating this combination of stitches on the Brother Dream machine. Many machines will have similar capabilities for building a line of decorative stiches with space in between. Check your machine menu for available options.
The idea is pretty simple. I started by creating a combination of stitches, adding straight stitches to create a space between the motifs. Then I went back and added a single motif on top of each of the areas with open space. Using a different thread color really makes the design combination pop!

Here are a few more combinations. For the final project I meant to show a pillowcase finished with rows of stacked stitches. Somehow that got left off the video. Here it is for you to see.

Rebecca Kemp Brent wraps up the show and with a different way to add lace to a sleeve.
Towards the end she shares some beautiful samples of lace made with an embroidery machine. CLICK HERE for Rebecca's detailed instructions for this segment.

More about lace . . .
Making freestanding lace and lace appliqués with an embroidery machine has been one of my favorite techniques for more than two decades. Over the years I've created quite a few garments with this added accent, including the forties style slip dress/nightie shown during It's Sew Easy TV show #906. You can watch this show HERE.
I have multitudes of pieces in my lace stash just waiting to be sewn on to something special. Making machine embroidered lace is a popular topic. There are a lot of both old and new designs that can be considered classics. Watch for a future blog post on this subject.
I'd love to hear your comments, thought, and stories about lace that may be in your stash.
