This ruffled lace tunic sample top from Fabscrap came with only a couple of things that needed mending.
The bottom three layers of lace had been left unfinished.
Someone also made a mark on the underlayer of crepe de chine with what looked like yellow tailor's chalk.
First I carefully spot treated the tailoring mark to see if it would come out easily (which it did.) I then laundered the top before I tackled finishing the lace. In order to sew a narrow hem on lace like this without a hem roller foot, it's best to fold it over, sew it once, then repeat.
The tunic came out like new, and I got to practice rolling and sewing narrow lace hems on the sewing machine. Great experience.
