Woman Drops Out Of Fashion School In The 1940s, Only For Her Granddaughter To Find Her Designs And Create Them
While we were safely tucked away in the confines of our homes hiding from the pandemic, some found a much-needed escape in sourdough babies. Some, in endless binge-watching marathons. Others, as this inspiring story proves, turned their attention to the most vulnerable, our grandparents, wishing to repay their kindness while it's not too late.
Upon discovering her grandmother's clothing sketches in 2021, Julia, a 27-year-old TikToker (@boringbb), barely knew how to sew clothes. Nonetheless, she decided to take it upon herself to make Nana's old designer dreams come alive. And it's not surprising at all, then, that when Julia shared her hard work with her absolutely delighted grandma, and later her followers - more than 21 million viewers tuned in to see what the most adorable version of Paris Fashion Week looks like. Oh, and what a sight it is.
This is how Julia's wholesome fashion show dedicated to her grandma looks in action
@boringbb grandma design #6! This is a redo of a design I attempted back in September for a Halloween themed dress. I was not super happy with my work and decided to try it again. I think you can see my sewing skills getting better even in just a few months time. Practice makes perfect! #surprise #grandmareacts #grandmareaction #reveal ♬ original sound - Julia

Would You Chop Up Your Wedding Dress To Repurpose?
If you have been with me for a while you may recognize this fabric as I made one of my wedding dresses out of this last year. It was super expressive - so I thought - why not repurpose it?

I have always wondered why men just rent a tux, but women are brainwashed into spending thousands of dollars on something that often looks like it should have toilet rolls stuffed up it... and wear it once. It's completely baffling.

Fabric is expensive, so maybe the entire volume wasn't attainable for some, and there is a difference between drawing and real life. I agree that they didn't look exact, but she did a much better job than I ever would.

Oh goodness this makes me miss my nanny on my mum’s side and my grandmother on my dad’s side. I wish I had the patience when I was younger to learn from them more as they were both expert knitters and my grandmother did beautiful sewing work.
