Lace is a fairly common fabric used in clothing, household decorations, and more. Its delicate patterns and intricate designs make it a favorite choice for adding elegance to everyday items. However, it is also susceptible to getting caught in things in one’s surrounding environment, which causes tears or damage to the lace. This leads to a significant amount of lace being discarded creating many environmental concerns.
Due to this, we have created a guide to help individuals facing the same issues repair their lace pieces and bring them back to working condition. As we are repairing a fabric, this guide will use, although not require, knowledge of basic sewing techniques.
