This gurl made herself a lace skull tee, 'cause ya know Halloween is comin' soon, and thought I'd share how I made it.

I was thinkin' I'd croshay a skull applique' but after lookin' at a pile of lace doilies in my sewing room, the lil' lightbulb in my head went poof!

I found this free printable pattern, it's actually a paper Halloween mask, for cutting out the lace skull.
 
You can use a thrifted lace curtain or old lace blouse.  Whatever.  Find a lace panel of some sort.

Then, I cut up some thrifted doilies for the eyes, nose and mouth and hand stitched them to the lace skull.  I had a floral lace applique which I used as the hair.

I used embroidery floss to blanket stitch the skull to the front of the tee.
