Don't throw out Grandma’s doilies! A delightfully feminine way to personalize any sweater, this project recycles old bits of lace as decoration, and it covers up any stained or moth-eaten jersey. Adapted from "Sweat Shop Paris" by Martena Duss and Sissi Holleis, published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. What you need: a cardigan lace or crocheted doily
Place your doily where you want (over the shoulder, on an elbow) and pin it flat to the cardigan. By hand, baste the doily to the cardigan.
Use a sewing machine to firmly stitch the doily in place.
Cut away the cardigan behind the doily to emphasize the lace effect.
Remove the basting stitches by hand.
