I'm not either

Making an 1830s dress for Allaire would be totally ridiculous....Just like [livejournal.com profile] hiraimi said, I'm not doing it...this 6.75 yards of piping I made last night is to decorate my tree....Tonight's goal is to assemble the mock up and try it on....send me good thoughts.

well that's annoying

So the fabric I bought for the hideous 1830s dress that I'm not making is a large gold and burgundy plaid, really more of a checked pattern...and It came in two pieces that looked identical. I started cutting from the smaller piece. Last night I made all the piping aka wasted a chunk for bias. Then today I started cutting skirt panels. I got two from the remainder of the small piece. I'm thinking "yay I have tons left"...and then I lay out the big peice and in measuring to cut the third skirt panel really that the squares are like 1/8" bigger...so they DON'T match up nicely at the seam...

Here's my dilemma. I have plenty of fabric, do I recut three skirt panels from the large peice, or have one reeeeeally unmatched seam...
