Can you give me a little explanation as to how you put it together? Thanks<BR/>HollieHollie Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455108347642924923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193652450580215999.post-85646706236629045652008-02-20T09:16:00.000-05:002008-02-20T09:16:00.000-05:00Hi Cindy!Thanks so much for the nice words!

I'm not sure how to use patterns, truth be told, and with reconstructing old clothes it always feels like you just have to improvise so much anyway. For instance, the straps on this dress have rows of snaps of them, because they were the between-leg fastening tape of the tiny baby jeans they came from. As straps, they look really cool - I really like the copper hardware feature. The rest of the dress was just long rectangles. I ran a basting stitch along one long side, gathered it to the right length, and then handsewed it to the previous layer. Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098748299031184803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193652450580215999.post-56557822612702375712008-02-20T01:30:00.000-05:002008-02-20T01:30:00.000-05:00Great picture of both of them!

My question this evening...Did you use a pattern for the dress? It is just adorable, so cool. I tend to save many of Josie's clothes from various size stages. I do dream of reconstruction some day...but my skills are quite basic. Just wondering...CynthiaAvaDevtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411292705777524259noreply@blogger.com
