650


Leila found this $1.00 doily in the op shop today, so we bought it. She now wants me to make it into "a dress" for her. This doily is about 40cm by 25cm I would say. It's lovely and with the wear she was wearing her hair today it made me think of Frieda Kahlo.

Maybe I could incorporate it into a hanky top, or a panel in the front of a dress or skirt?

what a lovely find... just a thought, what about an apron that she can wear over a long white skirt, or even over jeans? that way she can wear it whenever fancy strikes...

I'm always impressed by others' repurposing projects but never been game to try it myself (wouldn't know where to start). I'll be interested to see where you take it.
