I always thought rick rack trim was for crafty projects or children’s clothes. Over the last year or so, rick rack has gotten a very glam makeover.
I’ve been seeing it used on a lot of high-end designer clothes, and also on accessories such as handbags and shoes.
I decided to use McCall's 7780, because it has really good details that would highlight the way I wanted to use the rickrack trim.
I started with cutting the size 14. I didn't find that I needed to make any major adjustments.
My fabric is pinstripe cotton shirting from Jo-Ann's.
My tutorial for How to Sew Rickrack Trim is up on BERNINA's WeAllSew Blog.
I love it! Beautiful style. You look fabulous as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you BPatricia!
DeleteIt turned out so cute! Like you, I'd never considered rickrack for my garments because...crafty! But the last Burda (or the one before it??) featured a beautiful plus-dress pattern accented with rickrack and other trims and it was AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteSo yes, I am definitely digging it now!! Love the red and yellow with the white...really pops against the blue shirting.
I've been seeing it everywhere. My favorite was big, jumbo rickrack used as a trim on a Chanel-style boucle jacket. Something I might look into this fall! Thanks Kisha!
DeleteYou make me want everything you wear. BEAUTIFUL!!!
