Sometimes all a blouse needs is a little bit of extra length to make it wearable again. That's where lace come in handy. It's a pretty and easy way to lengthen a garment and add a little bit of flair.
Place the lace on the right side of the garment, near the edge/hem and sew in place with a straight or zig-zag stitch. Connect the two ends of lace by overlapping them about 1 cm and zig-zag stitching them together. And your done! This method can also be used with stretchy material (like t-shirts) by choosing stretchy lace. And it could be a perfect solution for short sleeves as well.
I hope this gives you another clever idea to remake an unused garment in your wardrobe.

I did this once to a black shirt I had that was junior's...it fit great on top but was just too short! The lace works perfect! I like this top! The lace looks really pretty! =)

Thanks for sharing, Chloe! I have used it on other tops as well and lace really does make a pretty hem.
