Billie Jean Sundress

7.14.2014

Last month I did a fun little hack of the Billie Jean pattern and finally got my shit together and wrote about it. Can I blame waiting for the right accessories to arrive in the mail?  Cause cherry shoes and brooches are awesome. All hacking details and some fun wind blown photos are over on the Bluegingerdoll blog.
P.S. This hack is so darn easy. You'll spend more time trying to turn those devilish spaghetti straps than altering the pattern.

  6. Haa haaa! I also have this problem though this dress has survived 2 wearings so far. Maybe the 3rd time will be the charm.

  7. So you're gonna laugh Maris because I've had a fast turn set for years. Buuuuut I'm the queen of trying to make spaghetti straps out of fabric that frays a lot/is too thick/or diameter does not match a fast turn. I've only had them work well about 20% of the time.
