Domestic Sewing

 First there was the prom - and sewing the skirt to suit the requirements of DD1.

I'm pleased that 1) she loved it and 2) I shall not have to sew slippery satin fabric again in the near future!
 Then it was down to the business of sorting out the uniform items that will never be worn again.

Most items passed on to DD2 or back into the school system, but the t-shirts which have seen sterling service for a number of years had another destiny.
 The main parts of the front and back were cut away.

The buttons were removed and put into the button tin.
The three raw edges were hemmed.

A clutch of dusters / cloths to keep us clean have emerged!

Lovely and soft, and perfect for their new job!

    Gorgeous skirt Plum - slippery fabrics are a nightmare, but you seem to have asserted your domestic skills on that fabric. I love the reuse, recycle element of using the school shirts - hope the memories that arise when using them are good ones!
