Thank You for the Beautiful Compliments.

@b4thedoor: I took apart a rtw dress that had seen better days and used it as a template.

At Virgo fabrics (Bklyn, NY), there is a remnant box $1.00/yd and the snakeskin fabric called to me...lol. When I extracted it from the mangled mess of twisted fabrics, one of the selvedge edges was a serrated mess and stated to the sales clerk that the 2 yards should be only a $1.00 surprisingly he agreed.
