DIY Lace trimmed socks

Hey my lovelies!

HEY LOOK EVERYONE I DID SEWING. And to be perfectly honest, I failed at it. But who cares? I think (for me) they're pretty frickin' spectacular!

Ah yes. This is meant to be a tutorial.

To make these adorable SS14 beauties you will need:

• A pair of plain socks
• A yard of lace of your choosing
• Pins
• A sewing machine
• Thread that is either invisible or matches the colour of your lace
• Scissors

Step 1:
On your first sock, pin one end of the lace to the middle of the back. Pull the sock elastic taut and wrap the lace around it until it gets to the starting point. Overlap it a little and re-pin the lace there.

Step 2:
 On your sewing machine, sew around the edge of the sock and lace trim with a zig zag stitch.

Note: As you are sewing around the edge, pull the edge of the sock to meet the lace. To make your sock look good you will need to keep this tension of the sock as you sew around the whole edge.

Step 3:  Adjust the lace to as you see fit. Don't worry if the lace crinkles a bit when you have finished, it will stretch out again when you put the sock on!

 

You now have an adorable pair of lace trimmed socks!
