Quick and Easy No-Sew Lace Trim T-Shirt

Upcycle Tees with Lace Trim for Summer

Here’s what you will need to add Lace Trim to Tees:

• 5 ½” Wide Lace Trim – White
• Lace Fringe Trim – White
• 2 ½” Wide Lace Trim – White
• E6000 Fabri-Fuse Fabric Glue
• Plain Tee Shirts – White, Blue, Coral
• Scissors – I love my Fiskars!
• Ruler
• Cardboard

Lace at the Bottom

Measure and cut a length of 2 1/2″ wide Lace Trim a few inches longer than the circumference of the hem of the White Tee.

Lay the shirt out flat on the work surface and fold back the hem. Place a section of cardboard, behind the overturned hem, making sure that it is large enough to prevent any glue from seeping through.

Starting at the side seam of the tee, apply a bead of fabric glue along the bottom hem, and then place the lace into the glue.

Gently tap lace into place. Repeat this process, in sections, around the entire hem of the tee. Let dry.

Once dry, trim excess lace with scissors and carefully glue the two cut edges of lace together to prevent fraying.

What type of Fabric Glue works best for No-Sew Tees?

This was my first time using the E6000 Fabri-Fuse fabric glue and I have to say that it was super easy to work with. No odor with a quick grab and a flexible bond, so the glue stretches with the trim and the clothing. No strings, no clogging, and a smooth flow of glue from the nozzle. This is glue is a game-changer! Edited to add that the E6000 Fabri-Fuse fabric glue also washes well and keeps a tight bond.
