*Tutorial* Boys Button Down Turned Girls Lace and Ruffles Tunic/Top!!

I've totally fallen in love with all the vintage plaid tops and dresses I've seen lately, and when I saw this boys plaid button at the thrift store last week I knew it had great potential as a girls top!! This tutorial is super easy and quick and requires very little supplies or sewing!!

Supplies:
*Boys button down, I choose a size larger than what my daughter normally wears so it could be more of tunic/dress.
*Lace-the pre-ruffled kind works best(I used two different sizes but one size will also work)
*The normal sewing supplies...scissors, pins and needles, and sewing machine.



Step One:
Measure your lace down each side of your shirt, I cut my lace a little longer than needed just in case:) It's always easier to cut it off in the end than it is to add more!

..also measure and cut the lace that you will be using for your collar

Step Two:
Pin lace in place and stitch. I pined and sewed one side and then went back and pinned and sewed the other side.  Below I've included a picture to give you a better idea of wear to pin your lace so that the lace will be even on each side once buttoned.

Pin and sew lace on seem next to button, see pin placement.

Pin lace and sew lace on the seem next to the button holes.

Step Three:
Pin and sew collar lace in place, making sure to sew the lace on the underside edge of the collar.

Step Four:
Trim lace and your finished!! This tutorial would also work well for a woman's top as well!
