It occured to me that maybe some back story might be in order. I attended Camp Watch-a-Patcher earlier this month (which is a biennial event) and one of their get-to-know-you mixers was called 'West Coast Prom dress swap'. The instructions were to bring a prom dress, wedding dress, mother of the bride dress, etc. (or a dress from a thrft shop) and add it to the pile. Everyone went from table to table and cut and sliced and ripped through all these dresses, grabbing all sorts of fabrics. You should have seen it! It was chaotic!! But it was so much fun too. So that's where I got this idea.
We're going to have fun!
