I've had this pattern for ages, but have yet to make anything. However, I did pull it out last week to trace off and I hope to use the skirt pieces & a self drafted waistband to make the "perfect" full skirt.

At any rate, they're usually just $1-2 and in with the more "junky" costume jewelry. ;-) This style of plastic bead is trendy right now though, so you can pretty easily find beads at JoAnns/Hobby Lobby/etc to make your own.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-28801162929039695152014-09-01T19:53:07.982-05:002014-09-01T19:53:07.982-05:00Thanks!!

I'm not sure how it will work for raising it even more? That was one of the reasons I only raised it an inch. ;-)<br /><br />Hope it goes well for you!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-31319533653275005632014-08-21T21:07:57.201-05:002014-08-21T21:07:57.201-05:00How did you raise the neckline?
