Dress #22
Small scrap fabrics bin
âScrap that idea!â
2013 / #2
-florist wire and florist tape
-copper phone wire and 26G steel wire
-one strand of novelty yarn
-staples and 2 nails
-1/2 of one plastic yard stake
-thread!!!!
-a flannel under skirt and tube top built support weight of the dress, flannel from a long ago moving blanket
-newspapers
-mini clothes pins
-fabric scraps dating back to the late 1970âs
This is a floor or pedestal piece as the skirt takes quite a bit of room and weight support.
Nametag â my 1984 State of Pennsylvania Republican Party registration card for when I moved after getting married and had to re-register to vote.
The bodice is made of both woven and stitched strips of fabric. The two skirts, front and back, are bunches of fabrics in similar colors machine stitched to other scraps in a layer upon layer fashion. None of the pieces were altered in any way, not cut, torn or changed; they are used as they were in the bin. All that is left is a quart sized zip lock bag to fill any blank spots. I did it this way so if I ever need a piece for a quilt or other project, I can just cut it off the dress. The shoulder clusters are independent units for ease of storage and transportation. All else is attached as the dress itself, not to the undershirt form.
