Here it is!! I embellished my old jean dress with the material from my orangey red maternity top. I gave it a Christmas feel with snowflake patterns, well, sort of!
 |
| The originals.... just love the orangey red colour!! |
 |
| Cut some circle templates! |
 |
| Circle, circle, circles! |
 |
Make your snowflakes - I didn't use the traditional method of folding squares here.
Oh, remember to fold one more time between 3 and 4 before putting the pin and cutting it! |
 |
I cut the collar off the dress and laid down my snowflakes!
Sew, sew, sew! |
 |
| Done! The Back! |
 |
| Done! The Front! |
Hmmm... hang on a minute, I may even wear this for Chinese New Year!!
Wishing all my lovely crafty and green friends a peaceful and healthy Christmas!!!

What a unique idea! I loved making paper snowflakes as a kid--but these will last longer and are beautiful! Great job!

Hope you like it!
Lovely!!
I love what you did with the dress Agy! And it does look a little Chinese.
Does the snowflake embellishment fray? I think I want to try this when I find something I can refashion :)
Thanks, ladies!
Janelle - so far so good. My stitching was not too far apart so I haven't had problems with fraying. I was going to iron on some backing before I made the snowflakes but the edges weren't "raw" enough. Let me know how your's turns out!
