I picked up a pretty delicate lace sweater from Goodwill not too long ago. I didn't try it on there, because I have this thing about washing stuff from there before putting it on.
Anyways, It ended up being too small when I brought it home, and though it is a really small size, it is way too big for Tori. Any thoughts of what I could make it into? And, how do I go about cutting something like that without it unraveling??

That is a great idea Lizabeth! Thanks for sharing it.I jsut couldn't seem to figure out how to do it without unraveling the fabric. My brain was a total blank.:P (of course, thats nothing new..hehe!)

I'd lay the lace over satin material and make a pillow... First trace your square onto the lace, zig zag along that line (or serge and cut at the same time) then lay the panel over the satin and proceed with constructing the pillow. If it is a button front you can even use that area on the pillow, if you have the underlying fabric.
