I shopped in stores and online for a gold lacy top to go with this denim jacket and just could not find what I envisioned. So I looked for a lace top and found this ivory colored one. I had recently been to a workday with friends where different dyeing techniques were shown. So I got out my Dye-na-flow dyes and mixed some colors. I finally got just the shade I wanted. It is much tooo yellow in the photo, but really it is more of a beige/gold. It is close to the shade of the thread. I dabbed the color on with a sponge brush and then let it dry. This is the look that I wanted and I am happy with the result. Thanks to my friends for the lessons.
Retirement has given me the time to meet new people and enjoy my sewing passion. Most of my sewing, embroidery, and quilting is completed on a Bernina 830.
