I start with a blank Microsoft Paint doc, copy and paste the pics I want to collage into it, and move them around until I'm happy with it. Sometimes I need to scale a photo down to match the others by using the "resize" feature. I also like to add color-coordinated lines separating my pics and the "Before" and "After" text. Like I said, super high-tech.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-12477776260504805782013-12-12T17:25:16.050-06:002013-12-12T17:25:16.050-06:00Thanks, Theresa!

I've been looking around for a collage maker, but the one that comes with my photo program requires 7 photos!!!!Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084271044740867356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-11149512339476739862013-12-10T15:56:29.242-06:002013-12-10T15:56:29.242-06:00I love this cobalt blue you are working with.

But I wasn't ready to give up that lovely color and the soft jersey fabric. The dress had had its day, and now it gets to live on in two new forms that will actually get more wear.<br /><br />I've taken up the shoulder seams of a few pieces now, and it seems to work quite well. Obviously, the armholes need to have room to spare though. Hope you can make this method work for you!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-70126333544633478892013-12-08T23:38:04.942-06:002013-12-08T23:38:04.942-06:00I was a little sad to see that dress get cut up (b...I was a little sad to see that dress get cut up (because, of course, it's new to me and so I'm not tired of seeing it like you might be!), but the top is really cute and you get a new scarf from the deal ... nice clear tutorials, too, thank you, because I have tops that are too long in the straps as well and haven't figured out how to shorten them - I didn't know if that method would be okay - and it is.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-60365295354185084982013-12-08T20:47:00.136-06:002013-12-08T20:47:00.136-06:00Thanks, Linda!

At least I get a little grace period for bra shopping until it gets warm enough to wear this top without a jacket/cardigan. ;)Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-11422085782773798912013-12-08T20:02:57.688-06:002013-12-08T20:02:57.688-06:00Two great pieces from one dress -cuter than the o...Two great pieces from one dress -cuter than the original piece - designers should confer with you!!!
