Changing it up...

Once in a while I like to alter an original pattern. To put in a little more of my own style. That's what I did here today with this cut file. It isn't a big change. Just enough to achieve the look I was going for.

Aren't they adorable?  They are from a Treasure Box Designs cut file. I wanted them to look like Mother and Daughter, or maybe a younger girl and an older sister. So with a few subtle changes, I think I was able to get achieve that.

This is the result of doing the pattern as designed. I just love the little 'tummys' on them. And the blue jeans. So cute!

On this one I made a few subtle changes. I cut back her hair, and 'flipped' it on the ends, to achieve an older persons style.(None of my friends wear their hair that way....lol.....but I needed it to be different.) I also gave her earrings and pearl buttons on her blouse.

The younger girl I added a flower to her headband and some buttons on her shirt. They could be Mother & Daughter or older & younger sisters.

The original file is actually a BFF file where they are holding a heart. But by cutting and adding an extra arm piece to the file I was able to get an entirely different look. Here's what the original file looks like.

And with a few changes, here's my version of it. All of the files from Treasure Box Designs  are so user friendly. The pieces fit  together beautifully.
