But you really found a great way to use a vintage outfit already made! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for visiting my blog earlier this week.

What great finds those were at the thrift store. I think you can just leave the skirt as is and pair with a skinny tank, or add a bodice and make a maxi dress if you can find a good match to the yellow solid.AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611763723530514953.post-80260671323125534042009-07-09T21:51:36.323-05:002009-07-09T21:51:36.323-05:00This turned out great!

If you get your daughter to send me an email (should be found via my profile from my blog) I will send her the template and instructions I made up for the Funky Frog and Trendy Tortoise I use for Fabulous Felt Brooches workshops. http://sandysnowden.blogspot.com/2009/04/fabulous-felt-friends.html I have them on my computer in word documents, so I can attach them on a reply email. <br /><br />Love the change in the 70's dress. For the skirt, If you like the look but not the length, I'd take the waistband off, chop off the amount you want to shorten it from the top, and then sew the waistband back on. If it has a zip, you will have to move it down. Since the fabric is wider, you will have to gather or tuck the excess a bit more than it is now. You could do inverted pleats if you don't want the bunchy-ness of gathers. <br />Take care have fun sewing.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611763723530514953.post-49264414005110747832009-07-09T15:47:56.306-05:002009-07-09T15:47:56.306-05:00You are a fantastic seamstress thank you for stopp...You are a fantastic seamstress thank you for stopping by my blogg...you are welcome to call by anytime...I have clicked on to follower's as my little daughter like's to see the clothes also......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611763723530514953.post-28355241950087725762009-07-09T15:39:01.672-05:002009-07-09T15:39:01.672-05:00The skirt and jacket are lovely, and really comple...The skirt and jacket are lovely, and really complement your figure.
