It's all coming together

I've cut through the legs of the jeans and opened them out into two squares

of fabric.  It doesn't look very neat at the moment

but once I've got the measurements and cut sorted I think it'll work.

This is basically what my dress will look like.  I'm going for a grungey summer look

but keeping the sweetheart neckline to give it a softer touch. 
Now I just need to take it home and get chugging on my sewing machine.
