Love the image and the practice of re-purposing old garments. High-quality fabric is hard to find at any price, at the fabric store, so I've been known to hit Goodwill for the $5 dresses and cut them up for little girl dresses. (Ok, not "known" for it and not at all good at it, but I have done it!)
Sweet story! (I'm not able to comment or upvote at ecency or PeakD)
