I think it could be transformed into an over-the-top sheath dress with a gold organza overskirt a la 1955.

When I started recently sewing for myself again, the stash was decidedly juvenile and shopping commenced!<BR/>Especially the metallics could be used as cathy said for home dec/gift like things. Or for parties/holidays I have taken lengths of fabric and poofed it around dishes or decorations on table/buffets. And if the goodwill is looming, you could always use it for giftwrap or as a gift bag with a gold bow. I too like the last one as a lining for a black jacket.emellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777873832025249426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-63484960567711341102008-01-12T08:31:00.000-05:002008-01-12T08:31:00.000-05:00I love the last fabric as a jazzy lining.

The last one is not all that bad. Plus, flashy colors and 80's style are making there way back, bare with it a little more ;o) Now that you showed us you cannot be more embarrassed anyway,lol!Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007763271616199349noreply@blogger.com
