Make any alterations to the outfit as needed. Once the outfit is to your liking, take it apart at the seams. you can then pin this "pattern" behind the new pattern and go from there. Sounds like cheating but hey, it works. hope this helps.

I always liked the idea of sewing in theory, but it seemed so tedious, and now I'm even less inclined to try :) Back to the knitting needles with me! Anyway, good luck!!
