Very impressive. I wouldn't know where to start. I can do some and I mean some alterations, but never thought of a complete revamp. Nice work.

I made these pants this weekend in navy blue pinstripe. They were really quick and easy. I had a little trouble with the front center part. Again I combined two sizes and it worked well and looked well expet it makes my waist look smaller and my hips a little bigger.

I'll post picks later.

Next weekend I'm atempting this. veiw B. I tried one already and failed but I am just going to go really slow.

What were the problems of this dress? I have the pattern and fabric, but haven't started on it.

I got a fabric in a loose weave. I had no problems till I did the facing. It got caught (not sure if that's the right word) because of all the pleats at the neckline. There are six pleats I think. When I remake it I am going to use a basting stich or staystich (?) first.

You may not have any problems. I am really new to sewing.
