Shabby Rose Trim Embellishment Tutorial

July 27, 2015 by Denise 20 Comments

I just love little 2-pieced sun suits for little girls! This super quick tutorial is for embellishing a tankini outfit with shabby rose trim.

First, what IS shabby rose trim?

Shabby rose trim has frayed chiffon flowers on soft netting. The netting can be sewn or glued and easily trimmed with scissors. Individual flowers can be used for embellishing projects such as scrapbooking, headbands, hair accessories, outfits etc. he possibilities are endless! Each rose measures about 2.5″ and 1 yards has about 14-15 flowers. Shabby rose trim can also come with tiny flowers too!

⇓———- PIN THIS ———-⇓

Add Shabby Rose Trim to a tankini and bloomers. A free tutorial from DIY Crush

For this example I am using a simple shirred top pattern. The bloomers are Whimsy Couture’s Bubble Bloomers sewing pattern.bubble bloomers sewing pattern 3.jpg
For the outfit below I used fabric from Patty Young called ‘Vintage Houndstooth’. it is gorgeous in person! It comes in several colors! I added lime green rose trim which makes it pop!

The bloomers above are made from the bubble bloomers pattern as well but have extra ruffles added from my Whimsy Couture tutorial.

Ready to add some shabby rose trim?

Gather your materials

    • any tankini top sewing pattern
    • Shabby Rose Trim Flowers (I am using the color aqua)
    • scissors
    • sewing machine
    • straight pins
    • thread

Follow this tutorial

Just follow these simple steps.

Cut a piece of rose trim just a tad longer than the width of the top is. Since my tankini top has elastic all the way around, I only added the trim to the front so the back is still fully elasticized which is important for the fit.

Pin trim in place. With a perfectly matching color thread, sew a row of zigzag stitches right along the top and bottom edge of the trim’s netting. Tuck in the ends of the trim and sew a straight stitch on each side.

Then unlike the free tankini top instructions say, I wanted to add a cute neck halter ribbon. I took the ribbon and folded it in half, formed a V and sewed it right into the center of the top edge, about 2 rows down into the shirred area.

Then to finish the look (and match with the bloomers shown below) I added a black ribbon bow to the center of the top.

To the bloomers I also added wide black lace under the shabby rose trim! I think it adds a pretty touch! What do you think? I’d love to hear! Drop me a comment below!

    The bloomers are just too adorable for words. But I absolutely love those shabby roses in that stunning turquoise colour which has to be one of my all time favourite colours.

    These are the cutest! So adorable. I love them both, I love black and blue as much as I love houndstooth! So I can’t choose a favorite. They’re both my favorite. Great job, so creative. If I had a little one I would scoop this up!

    Thanks for linking this to WAYWOW! It’s adorable.
