The Portion of my Inheritance

I love this 1970’s vintage pattern.

My daughter gave me a beautiful yellow blouse and told me I could do whatever I wanted to with it.

It had pintucks running up the front of it with jeweled studded diamonds on ric rac trim. The collar was also trimmed out with the diamonds and pearl buttons closed up the front.

So I cheated just a little and cut the shirt down to fit Aria.

I used a fun rose pattern fabric for the skirt, added belt loops and topped it off with a rope cording for the belt.

The dress just took a couple of hours to complete. The fabric was a gift, the shirt was free and the ribbon and cording came from my stash, from many years ago. Pretty much the only cost to me was the wonderful pattern.

There is gold, and an abundance of jewels; But the lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.  Proverbs 20:15
