i lOVE THIS ANGEL PATTERN!

Hello everyone , As the Christmas Crafting season approaches I thought I would share a go to pattern I found from the amazing "Crochet Geek" This pattern works up quick, is easy ans makes a great gift. The pattern is found here  Teresa Richardson's Easy Angel Pattern I used Paton's lace and a size D crochet hook for mine. I also put the book marker chain at the top. I didn't block mine or stiffen it but it's easy to do if you want too! Teresa has videos on how to do it but the basic way is to mix 1 part water and 1 part glue, cover the item pin the item into place and let dry! It you want to CHIQ it up add glitter right after the glue :) If you have any questions Teresa is on Facebook and is always quick to respond to comments! She helped me out when I first started! 

How to Add a cute Crochet lace edging on a shirt

Supplies: any type of shirt, I used a cami and a ripped tank from target ( on sale for $5.00 each) A steel crochet hook I used 2.75 , but size 0 works too. and Crochet thread any size.  I also used Bernet Mosaic ( pink cami top) and it turned out great Skill level  I would suguest that you be able to have a even tension. There isn't an important gauge for this project but your stitches should be even. If you aren't sure try this on the edge of a thin dish drying towel or an old rage  :) A few notes I like to start in the middle of the back of the shirt so you can try a few stitches and if you make a mistake it wont be noticed.  Also don't try this out on you favorite shirt!! HAHA Are you ready to start??? I am soooo excited!! Okay we are ready to start!! We start right before the hem of the shirt ( GOING THROUGH TWO PIECES OF FABRIC IS TOO HARD) and the hem line will make it easy to be straight. Now how we start is we force the crochet hook...
