Using Lace Fabric In Your Sewing Project

Lace is a delicate and open fabric that can be made by hand and by machine. It was traditionally made from silk thread, and gold or silver thread was often incorporated in the fabric. These days, many lace fabrics are made from cotton or man-made thread. It is best used for gowns, bridal outfits and lingerie because of its ornamental nature, adding a delicate touch to any piece of clothing or furniture.

Types Of Lace Fabric

• Stretch lace fabric: The most versatile of lace fabrics, stretch lace can be used on all kinds of projects as an adornment.
• Cotton lace fabric: Less common than polyester lace, cotton lace fabric has a more luxurious feel that will elevate your garment.
• Chantilly lace fabric: A handmade, delicate bobbin lace, it is known for its intricate floral patterns, fine ground, and outlining with thicker thread.
• Embroidered lace fabric: A woven ground lace, it applies intricate stitching, threads or embellishments like beads and sequins on top of the fabric.
• Knitted lace fabric: This fabric is made with open, decorative patterns, best used as an overlay to other fabrics.

Tips For Sewing With Lace

Sewing lace onto items for a decorative finish is not too difficult, but creating a whole garment, like a dress, out of lace is something that will take some effort. Here are some tips to keep in mind when sewing with lace:

• Cut each piece individually so you can see the motif, and can match it up if required (for instance, for the two front pieces of a jacket or blouse).
• Try to go for patterns that have few seams.
• If you do need to sew seams, try the technique for applique seams.
• Sew pieces together with contrasting thread first to make it easier to see if your lines are straight.
• Buy some more fabric than you think you need if you want to match up motifs in your lace material.
