They came to me, announced yet still a surprise, as two sisters who spent their life together entertaining others and were now ready for not so much a new life but a different life.
Dressed up in a statement piece worthy of any Haute couture constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high-quality, expensive and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable of sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. They met up with the country girl where cotton is not only queen but reigned in her own atmosphere of “put your feet up and stay awhile“.
They were taken one by one for their makeover as these fine ladies were to bestowed upon two other little ladies who too shared so many events as a gift to rework from their great gram to their gram to their dad to their other gram in remembrance.
underneath all that stitching painfully revealed previous work worthy of whalebone stays with a “dressmaker”style meshed with an abundantly used electric staple gun creating a task that rivaled a veterinarian pulling porcupine quills.
this one has stash pockets!
and this one has the bling!!
sisters for sisters, so different, so the same
