New Year, New Uses: Mash Up Janie -Bay

Today, Jane has a great tutorial to mash up the Little Lizard King Janie Lou and the Brownie Goose Bay Dress.  The tutorial is important because not all pattern pieces match one another which can make a 'mash up' seem daunting.  But, she takes out the guess work and shows you what to match and how.  Resulting in this stunning Janie-Bay.... I want, I want!!!
