Guys…I found this BURIED in my drafts. seriously from 2012.
So here is a blast from the past!
I was on pinterest and saw this sweatshirt:
and loved it…something about the gray sweatshirt…and the fancy lace.
and I knew it would be an easy refashion
I hit up the thrift store and bought a gray sweatshirt..
and found some lace at Walmart for 3.50 for 3 yards…..which was a good deal seeing how the other lace was about $2 a yard…..
and snipped off the top of the sleeve
leaving the collar and wrist alone….
Then you sew it on (gets a little tricky when you get to the end..but go slow! it can be done!
love it.
new picture:
let’s compare
my total cost was $5…with lace leftover for another project. I don’t know how much this knock off shirt was (I can’t find it for sale on the site anymore…but the cheapest shirt they run is $50…so i think we shall call this a win!!!!
I forgot to say..if you wanted to put the lace behind ….it stilll looks cool

so cute! the only thing I would say is sew the edges of the lace down first, then cut out the excess fabric from the shirt. That way you don’t accidentally cut out too much!
