Looking at the 2nd picture, if you can visualize it with my arms straight out, it's a rectangular tablecloth folded in half with my head sticking out the middle. You can see how the sleeves end at the lighter blue border...and how they run straight across the fold line on either side of the neck hole. Other than that, I just scooped out what wasn't going to be the dress - i.e., under the arms along the torso and back out for the skirt. To do that, you can fold the cloth in half again, this time width-wise so you only have to make the cut once and it's exactly the same on both sides. Then you just sew up the 2 side seams. That's it. Except for seam binding the sleeve edges and the neck hole. Try it with a rectangular piece of paper first.<br /><br />As far as pantaloons go, you could trace off a pair of pants you already have, or Tina Givens offers some free patterns on her site you could use as a basis. Email me if you want more specifics. and have fun! paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-44823326953872726362018-07-02T13:40:32.254-05:002018-07-02T13:40:32.254-05:00Can I borrow this outfit for a while?

Figure out what my style was. Funny how that works. Especially as I "teach" art and always say to the students your style is always there, you can't force it or make it happen. You just have to get out of the way and let it evolve. And, yes I knew that, but it is a process and you do have to pay attention and be true to yourself. nuff said.<br />Thanks, Louisa, for being there.paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-78129785499750284052018-06-01T13:56:32.265-05:002018-06-01T13:56:32.265-05:00Hey Barbara's on my blog!
