Below I show some crocheted and tatted pieces as well as some lace. I got these at the most recent Nearly New Sale at GBMC here in Baltimore. This sale takes place twice a year (Spring and Fall) and is an enormous tag sale. It's such fun. If you're around here and like vintage or digging through junk, do go.
Below I show how I have used crocheted pieces and cross-stitched bird (thrifted) to liven up some blouses I've made. I don't have the crochet skills or the time, but I love the look of handwork and the delicate quality of the lace, so if I find a good deal on it, I buy it and design a top around it. I find if you seal the edges in seam binding and hand tack the rest to the shirt, it works well. Hope you find this inspiring.
Oh, I had so much fun the last time we went to that! I didn't know it was twice a year!
