You will find all instructions, tips and tricks on how to make this
charming summer topper in the magazine. |
| On our website, we have several projects featuring summer blouses and
T-shirts embellished with crochet lace. We decided to put together this
page to showcase them. |
| The FSL
Crochet Square Lace Set was designed specially for a blouse. It consists
of two patterns - a square and a rectangle, which can be assembled into
the blouse shown below. |
|
| The rectangle pattern from this set can also be assembled into the
yoke of a dress or topper. |
|
| The FSL
Crochet Pineapple Appliqué Set can be used to make different
table linen and a beautiful topper in the bolero style for a young lady.
You can read about this project on the page Blouse with FSL
Crochet Pineapple Applique Set. |
|
| Who prefers T-shirts? They're a great casual summer outfit. You can
make them very personal by using different embellishments in different
ways. Crochet lace is just one option. Here you can see a few possibilities. |
| This highly original T-shirt is a favourite of our model. You can read
about how we put these lace ornaments together on the page T-Shirt
Embellished with Crochet Yo-Yo Motif. |
|
| The Round
Rose Crochet Border Set can be used as a lace yoke for a T-shirt. You
can read about how we made this shirt on the page Crochet
Lace Insert for a T-shirt. |
|
| The Butterfly
Crochet Set also allows you to make a lace insert. We used it for this
long-sleeve T-shirt. |
|
| The same is true with the FSL
Crochet Kitchen Set. We used one of the designs from the set
to make several lace inserts on a T-shirt. |
|
| This top features a lace insert made of the designs from the FSL
Crochet Elizabetham Lace Set. |
|
| We hope that you liked our ideas and will come up with many of your
own.We would be very glad to receive photos of your projects. |
