A Colleague had heard that I rehabilitate torn and unusable
family embroidered pieces. Her grandmother had stitched a
lovely linen tea towel but it was tattered and stained.
She didn't have the heart to throw it out, and asked if I'd like to have it. I knew immediately what to do with it. I had been planning to make some old fashion flip dolls in commemoration of our family's duel heritage, Sicilian/ Irish and it would fit perfectly as part of the bodice and apron. As always, I can't just make one. Adorable don't you think?
