I loved these free standing lace designs from the OESD collection Halloween Couture. I wanted to do so many different projects so I narrowed it down to a t-shirt and a home decor project. The ideas are endless. I love that this can be worn throughout the year and not just October! My mom is already calling dibs on the skeleton banner. I was going to put this one on a hoody but wanted to show some other options on what could be done with these designs. Get the details below and make your own.

Supplies:

Create the free standing lace pieces.

Run the pieces through water to remove the water soluble stabilizer. Use tape (I like OESD's TearAway tape) to position the web where ever you'd like. I chose the top corner of the t-shirt. Be mindful of placement, we will cut out the back of the shirt.

Use a satin stitch or a zigzag and sew along the outer stitches. If the t-shirt is thin it may help by adding some water soluble stabilizer on the wrong side of the shirt just under the web for additional support.

Flip the shirt wrong side out and cut a hole in the center of the web only on the t-shirt...proceed to cut as such leaving just about 1/4" from the edge of the web stitching.

Press the cut triangles down.

Sew along the outer edge just along the outer stitches of the web.

Flip wrong side out and trim the additional material.

Now add the spider. I just stitched along the outer edges to secure it.

For the back of the shirt I added another spider with a straight stitch going down the back...

For the banner you can follow this tutorial here. I just embroidered "Bad to the Bone" and then topstitched the skeleton on.

I love my spooky tee! Great for wearing all through October!
