The bright orange voile saree is one of my mother's, she has not worn it much and, is about 40 years old ;nor it is torn or discoloured. She gave it to me over a decade or so ago. I wanted to use up the saree without cutting too much and, thought that this way it would be used well.
I am using 3 layers of cotton saree material ; two of them are of the voile saree and, one is maroon coloured cotton with a design at one end.
couple of crocheting projects ......

Oooh, lovely bright colour for a quilt, Gaia :) Nice that it has a sentimental value too - it will make a lovely heirloom keepsake.
ReplyDeleteCrochet is looking good too - I like to have a background project to work on, nice to just make something slowly sometimes!
Oh, I LOVE the orange saree, fantastic colour! It will be interesting to see the result :-)

ReplyDeleteI always love the bright colours that you use for your projects.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to the Ex this year, they have the "Quilt of Belonging" on display at the Arts/Crafts/Hobbies building.
I do like the kantha quilts - have you seen the jackets made from them? So beautiful. The blue thread on the orange saree is a wonderful combination. Happy stitching.
