  Step 1

  Cut two panels of lining that are 20" wide by 2 yards long
  Pin and stitch them together using 1/2" seam allowance
  so that you have a 20" wide by 4 yard long panel

  Hem one edge of the panel by turning and turning 1/4"

• 

  Step 2

  Cut two 21" by 2 yard long panels of fabric using the edge of the fabric as the edge of each panel
  (You will have a strip left over in the middle to use later)
  Pin and stitch them together so that you have a 21" by 4 yard long panel of fabric
  Use 1/2" seam allowance

• 

  Step 3

  Pin the lining to the wrong side of the lace and stitch the raw edges together with 1/4" seam allowance
  Along that same stitch line you are going to bunch the fabric under the presser foot and gather the 4 yard panel together

• 

  Step 4

  Cut elastic so that it fits comfortably around your waist
  Mark the elastic in 4 equal parts
  Pin the elastic evenly along the gathered fabric
  Sew the elastic to the gathered fabric by stretching the elastic as you sew using 1/2" seam allowance

• 

  Step 5

  With right sides together, pin all 4 layers together and stitch down the side seam from the elastic to the hem.

  Step 7

  Cut out pieces from your lace and the decorative edge of your lace (if you have some left over)
  Insert cardboard in the t-shirt
  Figure out your lace placement and apply the lace and edging with E-6000 Fabri-Fuse
  Let it dry overnight and you're done!
