I recently got a huge box in the mail from my Grandmother, full of her own things (yarn, fabric, sewing stuff, etc) and it really struck a cord in me. These things mean more than i can express... So i decided to use the fabric to make a dress.. I still have some work to do with the buttons, but i threw out the whole "uniform, identical white round button" idea and used various mis-matched navy blue, brown and gold buttons from my Grandmother's button jar. I have no doubt all the things from the box will be put to good use. The bottom dress is a dress I altered from a floor-length, shoulder-padded Good Will find.. Yeah!
Thank you Grandma,
Rachel
Ps. Happy 100th Post!! :)
These are absolutely beautiful. I'm in love with the first dress. Your grandma is a lovely person.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to teach me how to sew? I must learn.
Hope you are well. <3
