Tutorial~Romantic Sash~

This is one of my favorite tunics that I bought at Target a few years ago. (and it was $7 at the sales rack!). Although, I like this a lot, it can be a little boring. So, I decided to make a sash for it.


{You will Need}


White or ivory color fabric
Lace 1 1/2"wide
Different lace to put on the ends of the sash if you prefer
Pearls
matching thread

{How to}

1. For mine, I cut 2 strips of 6" Wide X width of the fabric. It is better to have the length of {your waist X 2.5 or more} for a sash.


2. Sew two strips together to make one long strip.


3. With right sides together, fold the strip in half (horizontally), and cut both ends diagonally.


4. Leaving 4" opening in the middle, sew all around it. Turn the strip inside out. Press with an iron. Close the opening with a slip stich.


5. Sew the lace onto the strip.

6. Use fray check to seal the ends of the laces. The lace I had was a little shorter than the sash I made, so I had to be creative and added a little more on the end. If you have long enough lace, you can cut it diagnally and finish it with simple edge. Sew the pearls on.

  
It was a really quick project, and I love how it turned out. I am going to use this for my cargo pants and jeans too. Isn't it fun to discover that with simple accessories, an old outfit can have a new look?
