Going for Baroque







Judging from this winter’s crop of fashion magazines, ruffles and lace seem to be making a comeback. Which got me thinking...


Take a vintage lace doily. Fold over the top third. Gather together at the top. Sew a few stitches to keep the desired shape, and voilĂ ... a lace jabot to pin on a blouse. Keep in mind, the bigger the doily, the larger the jabot. Try lace, eyelet or embroidered doilies for different looks.
