From a curtain to a cushion to a frock

 

I am hardly likely to forget this date

My Dad died on this day. That many years ago I can't remember.

Its our dear friends Golden Wedding anniversary today 

and another friend is celebrating her 80th Birthday.

  

You see this vintage curtain, well I got it some years ago and upto recently it has been used as a cover for the cushion on the bench in our boot room (the place we store our wellies and coats)

But now it has been transformed into a summer frock for me, by another one of my friends.

With the bits that are left I have made some lavender bags

and a bag for the lavender bags 

There is no way I can wait until the summer months before I wear my new frock

so once its dry (it was full of mud and needed washing) I am going to team it with

maroon opaque tights and maroon knee length boots and my tricel dusky pink cardi.

Stay tuned for further pics with me modelling it

I made this for the Golden couple at the party tonight.

We are dashing from one do to another so I better get a move on.
