well, you could use it for adding cuffs..possible 3/4 style, longer than just a shirt cuff. Also, you could use it at the hem of a simple top to conform to your hips a bit?? Smocked pillows are cute...headbands, belts...bodices if stay above bust-line...oh! and vests! could do just a vest BACK if you wanted. In a few years, you may have GRAND-DAUGHTERS and then you will put miles on it!
