purple fabric

I know I posted this purple dress when I made it over a year ago.  Yes, I like it but....  But I do not really like long sleeves on a dress because I wear sweaters.  Three quarters or short sleeves work better for me.  It is  a bit long.  I trip on it.  I made it with an attached underskirt and it is really just much to heavy too many months of the year to wear here.  But I still really like the fabric.

While we were watching snow boarding and surfing videos this evening, I cut it apart.  The skirt and the sleeves have enough fabric to make an a-line sleeved dress.  It means I do not have to go shopping or spend anymore money on fabric.  It is so cool!

A new purple dress will be cut out tomorrow.  I am excited!
