Do the panels all gradate the colors the same? <BR/><BR/>Make sure you use Heat and Bond Light so you don't get a heavy stiff effect to the hem. I just know you will fix this and it will become a design opportunity, not a dilemma.

I just went back and caught up on your other posts. Your daughter is adorable.

That way it will look like it's supposed to be that way. In other words. Cut off the border. Sew all the borders to each other. Sew all the skirt pieces to each other and then reattach the entire border all the way around. This will make the dress slightly shorter, but it will be the same all the way around. Does this make sense? I would definitely fray check the edges. This is beautiful fabric and will be so pretty for a daddy/daughter dance.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097054119585201394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784733016362703557.post-59796576139544134992009-02-22T14:06:00.000-05:002009-02-22T14:06:00.000-05:00Yup, fraycheck those babies right now.

I do that sort of thing all the time.

You do not want to lose any more fabric due to fraying. Once that is done, you'll be able to stitch the pieces together with a narrow seam and then cut the side backs from the resulting pieces. Lucky you, that you saved the scraps. I usually save everything until the project is done. I never know when I'll need them.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.com
