Oh red stilettos great minds work the same ..LOL I bought the pattern for these dresses but it is paper piecing and I am not every good at that. also the pattern has a lot of small pieces in it and the pattern said that the 1/4 inch seam was not included so you would have to add that. now this may not be a big thing for someone that understands paper piecing but for me it is a big thing. I am giving it a try on some scrap fabric so will see how it goes..also the pattern has it divided into different sections and I guess that is where the 1/4 inch seam comes into it when you put it all together. I just wish she would have made the pattern with all the 1/4 inch already figured into it. This is really hard but will give it a try.. Thanks for your great suggestion..
