Lay the lace on the fabric where you have rough drawn the out line of the pants with chalk and spray bleach or dye on it then lift of lace. You can use lace, paper doilies, reg. doilies, stencils or self cut stencils. I don't know ehre the fabrics are like that but I always say, "I'll it myself and I'll make it my own." ------ JanieV

Date: 11/14/12 6:29 AM That is such an interesting idea about using spray bleach over a design! I have more pairs of jeans I've been collecting in my fabric stash over the years and have been wondering what to do with them. I've had this idea of refashioning some long maxi skirts, mini skirts, denim bags, etc., but I absolutely love the idea of the spray bleach for a mini skirt for both my college-aged daughters. Very unique! Thank you! ------ Big 4 Pattern size 12, RTW bottom: 6, RTW jacket 8, RTW top (no size fits me well!) Measurements: 34 HB/36 FB (34C bra)/27.5/36 (and working hard to keep it that way.)

You have to let the aint cure for a day and then heat set it...either by dryer or by iron...but it works...I have done it not on denim but on a synthetic knit. ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

But, I am also going to try the bleach also. Thanks to all of your for these great ideas. ------ Sew for fun

I like the paint idea better than the bleach. It will give you a crisper print -- Edited on 11/14/12 7:46 PM -- ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

You used to be able to buy paper with dye imbued in it and you could cut out shapes and iron on the dye. But I am old and that's probably an antique item now! ------ JanieV
