Sadly, I fell victim last week to an email blast sent from MOOD. It was an innocent enough suggestion to look at some new laces. Laces? I don’t have a clue how to sew with lace fabric. But what could it hurt to take a gander? 6 swatches later, my checking account is wishing I had just deleted that email.
Behold:
Swatch #1 (FC3309) and Swatch #2 (FP22186C)
Swatch #3 (FC21709) and Swatch #4 (FS22611C)
Swatch #5 (FP22299C) and Swatch #6 (FP22208C)
The only one that is a little weird is #6, because it kind of had a 3D shaggy lace thing going on, but I still heart it big time. I could buy all six of these, but really, I should not do this.
I’m thinking I will underline them to give them some structure, one in black and one in another color. I also kind of want to make bodices out of some and then add plain skirts…Sigh. Help me, internets! Which are your favorites?

Not a huge fan of #2 or #5–#5 looks like cobwebs to me for some reason. I think #1 and #6 are actually my favorites. I’ve always been a fan of (classy) black lace over peach fabric, but I could see some other colors working well too, depending the look you’re after.
Thanks Jackie! I’m leaning toward 3-5, but I agree 5 looks like cobwebs 🙂 That’s kind of why I like it, lol!
I really like 3, 4, and 5, especially 3. 🙂
