As a family we are all very ” in” to recycling, doing our bit for the environment, we do all the usual recommended things, separating the household rubbish into the black bags, green bags and the food waste caddies. which works very well.
My daughter is usually given a new dress by her husband at Christmas, he knows exactly what suits her and has wonderful taste, I am always amazed at how he gets it right every time However this Christmas it all took a different and imaginative turn. My daughter had several well loved dresses that were passed their best but she was loath to part with them, dresses that reminded her of all the enjoyable times when she had worn them, so she handed them over to her husband and seven year old son and told them to get them recycled..
The two men, one very young ,the other in his prime (I must say that) settled down to design the new dress, both contributing good ideas,the seven year old has very definite views of fashion and what suits his Mum. Having decided on the design, off they went to “Ffrilli Jilli”with three favourite old frocks, there they had some expert advice on how to turn their design into reality. When they all agreed on the final design,”Ffrilli Jilli” made the new dress.
I am amazed at the result, the dress is lovely, the material from the old dresses beautifully and imaginatively combined in a fashionable way that suits my daughter’s individual style. Great job boys, well done “Ffrilli Jilli” what a wonderful idea!!!!!
