Growing up, I was never a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. I always preferred dresses, cardigans and sweaters. There are times when I would not have a single t-shirt in my closet, save the smelly ones i use for my workout. But after having a baby, I am tending toward having more and more comfy clothes that are easy to clean. But the girly part of me can’t stand turning t-shirts into a regular part of my wardrobe. But i did find this little way to bring up the acceptableness (real word?) of the comfy top. I love this little DIY lace insert to personalize any t-shirt you have.

What you need - - T-shirt of your choice - Lace. Here I used a polyester stretch lace in cream color.
I wore the t-shirt in front of the mirror and marked the new neckline with a tailor’s chalk.
Widen neckline. Using a french curve will be very helpful.
With the fabrics you cut out at step 3, make a bias tape to finish the new neckline.
Draw a line for lace insertion in the back.
Cur out the line you drew in the step #5.
Cut the lace in the shape of what you cut out in the step #5, and finish the neckline. Make sure to add the seam allowances.
Attach the lace to the T-shirt.

If you want, you can fold up the sleeves and sew the top and bottom edges to change things up a bit!
