DIY: Coudières dentelle


Photo: Des Petits Hauts

We all have our favourite pieces of clothing. You know, the ones that are so comfortable and lovely and easy to wear that if you could, you'd use them every day. The same old cardigan or dress or sweater you always return to, even though it clearly has passed its best-before date ages ago and even though you've probably got plenty of newer ones in your wardrobe. Still, you keep wearing them until they literally fall into pieces.

Well, at least I do. For example, I've got a couple of cardigans I've bought a few years back and which really are no longer wearable (anywhere in public anyway). Let's just say that while I adore the softness of 100 % cashmere, it's not actually the most durable of fabrics and... But since I have fond feelings for those cardigans, they're still waiting in my wardrobe for better days to come.

However, while skipping through the new summer collection of Des Petits Hauts (and dreaming of warmer days), I stumbled upon their DIY pictures of cute elbow pads in lace. Such a simple idea that I should have thought about it a long time ago... So first thing tomorrow, I'm off to buy some lace - shouldn't be too difficult a task, given that we're in the promised land of dentelle!
