This is my dress |
I used the cream colored fabric for the base of Alyse's Christmas Dress |
This is the sweater I altered |
Pinning everything together |
I used the couch cushion and my model |
Later when Alyse woke from her nap I tried to get her to try it on, but she wouldn't- so I used Grant as my model instead... Sorry- No blackmail pictures- that would be very wrong |
The finished front (looks lopsided, but its not) |
I gathered it a little to give it some texture! |
Prettier in real life... but I pinned it and it has a train all the length of the back- its very elegant |
Finished sweater and dress!! I am thinking of dying the dress Crimson Red!! I think it will be a very beautiful Christmas dress for Alyse! |

That was FAST! I can't even picture how you did it! You should take lots of pics next time, people will be wanting you to teach a class!
So awesome Britta!
Love,

That is seriously cool. Makes me want to get out my sewing machine and dust it off. I haven't sewed anything in YEARS. I wouldn't have even thought of re-purposing something I don't wear for one of my girls. Brilliant.
