Oh deary me... can I do this? After all these years... oh deary deary me! AND Another DAWN is involved!

 This is my Happy Dress, I bought it in the 1970's and I still just love it, how could you not, bright pink, red, blue and green with lots of love hearts, it's made from a very good quality cotton fabric so perfect to wear in hot weather but... while my 'Happy Dress' has been sitting in the wardrobe it's shrunk down to a size 12, so no longer fits me...  here's my Dilema!

Nerys has been watching Dawn O'Porter on You Tube, this Dawn loves old clothes and turning them into clothes that suit today.

Nerys rang me the other day, very bravely I must add and asked if she could have my 'Happy Dress' and would I turn it into a Mini Dress!   Yikes!   I thought about it for a while, I ummmed and aaarrrred my legs went to jelly but I took a deep breath and said... 'It would be an honour!'  or something like that, but my heart was pounding.

So... say I go ahead with Nerys' wishes... what can I do with the fabric I cut off?  I would like to wear something?  make something else?  

 Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
P.S.  I cannot find a photo of me wearing this dress, I wonder why?

A bag, a cover for your IPad or diary perhaps. Depends on how much you have left after the 'cut dow' 😀

MMMM... Your suggestions are a lot better than Tim's... he thought I should make a Garter :-)

Will there be enough to make a bucket hat (lined with hot pink!) - then you could wear it every sunny day, or every time you go out into the garden. Jill

That's an interesting idea Jill, I will think about that one, I wonder if I could make a hat and an iPad cover... MMmmmm Nerys has made an appointment with me for Noon on Tuesday so we will see how we go! :-)
