One of my favourite bloggers, Anna at pleasantviewschoolhouse collects linen dresses from thrifts to make into aprons - also quilts and other items. She sells on Etsy and donates to charity. <br /><br />I love linen to sew on. It doesn't argue one bit, is soft to the touch (well used linen, anyhow) and the weave never resists the needle. <br /><br />I've never gone through family member's clothing after they are gone without keeping at least some of it. My ex-husband took most of the contents of my mom's house to the dump one day while I was at work. She'd been gone six months by then and I admit I hadn't made much progress in disposing of things, but I still think he had no right.... I forgave as well as I could and we stayed married a few more years; he's lucky I didn't make myself a widow. Still have my Dad's wide, psychedelic ties from the 1970s!<br /><br />So, what did your Aunt wear for her own funeral, if you were looking for the dress, may I ask? Perhaps I misunderstood...<br />Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-77346791080668351562015-11-16T02:40:18.816-06:002015-11-16T02:40:18.816-06:00Lovely idea.Lovely idea.Jessica@CapeofDreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382676850458771586noreply@blogger.com
