Description

Based on the Charlie pattern, I made this from a polyester dress I wore at Burning Man a few years ago. I was thinking of selling it on Etsy, but I think this one is going to be personal :) Note the pockets... those were from the original dress.

Materials

vintage polyester dress, with some Playa karma

I love it! Did you use bias trim or elastic?

Working on JJ blouse.

This is the coolest Charlie I've seen so far. That funky fabric was put to excellent use.
