Lace has been quite the trend this year. If you’ve been out to shop
recently, chances are that you’ve seen some clothing items that have
been laced. A lot of designers have also used lace for a number of their
pieces included in some of their collections and it’s not hard to see
why.
Lace is such a beautiful material. It looks delicate, feminine,
flirty, and romantic. Perhaps one of the most popular clothing items
that have been incorporated with lace this summer are shorts. Lace
shorts are all over. You’ll see girls wearing them and pairing them with
anything and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it
too.DIY Lace shorts are awesome. They’re cheap, customizable and most of
the materials you’ll need to make your own pair are right in your own
home.
There are plenty of ways you can make your own DIY Lace Shorts, even
if your sewing skills aren’t exactly up to par. It’s so easy you can
even make one without having to do any stitching at all! For this type
of DIY lace shorts, you’ll only need fabric glue, lace, scissors and an
old pair of shorts. First, cut up a couple of strips of lace. The
thickness or width of the strips depends on your taste. Then take your
old pair of shorts and simply glue the strips of lace on to the hem of
your shorts to make sort of a piping or trimming. Let the fabric glue
dry and you’re done! You can also do this to the hem of your shorts’
pockets.
If you have a knack for sewing, though, you can make a more artsy
pair of lace shorts. Try to follow the pattern of your lace and make a
triangle. Then, cut up a triangle that’s on each of the side seams of
your shorts and then sew the lace on as if patching the hole. This is
easy but at the same time gives your old pair of shorts a new delicate
twist.
If you know how to sew but are not that much of a pro, you can always
just sew on tiers of lace to your shorts and achieve a ‘skorts’ look.
Making your own diy lace shorts is one fun way to glam up and up cycle
old pairs of underused shorts in your closet.
