Such a cute idea in your sample picture. Who couldn't use a book like this for kids!

Good idea for recycling all those magazines full of colorful pages.

Good tutorial. Thanks. A few years ago I said no more pattern drafting. This may make me change my mind. :)

What a great experience. When my brother took us on a flight from Akron to Cleveland and back, my husband was busy taking pictures. As we were looking at them later, one had captured an interesting design and composition for me. It turned out to be a utility processing complex. Art is where you find it.

Thanks for sharing, and I will be sharing this with friends.

Thanks for posting. It gave me a chance to see the initial post and tutorial as well as read the comments with additional ideas and pointers.

Cute skirt and model. Will you share some directions?

I'm curious about the vase, too. Are there directions and a pattern? What paper would be sturdy enough to suport the wire stems?

As soon as I saw this I thought "wall art." I've been looking for some way to use the colorful pages of magazines. Thanks.

Thanks, Jennifer. It worked.

I looked for the way to do the free download, but couldn't find it. How to do?

A lot of selvages are too nice to discard and make good trims. Thanks, too, for good ideas for adding interest to skirt hems.

Pintucks can beused at the top of skirt gores to reduce the top skirt width to the waistband size.

I began with one pintuck 3-4" long in the center of each gore. Then added another a little shorter on each side. And continued adding shorter ones until the skirt top width fit the waistband. Turned out to be a good design detail without having to reconstruct the skirt.

Thanks for the info and tutorial. I have been wondering what to do with some special small fabrics I've been saving. So I'm going to make some of these buttons today.
