Scarlett and Maria knew what they were doing...

As a kid and teen I remember repeatedly watching those scenes in Sound of Music and Gone with the Wind of the VonTrapp children and Scarlett proudly playing and prancing around in their clothing made from curtains.

I knew one day I would do it, but still cannot believe how beautiful a "curtain dress" can turn out! I have found this wonderful 2nd hand shop in Jaz. a few towns over. Once a week they have an incredible sale where all clothing is 500ft. per kilo. Which means it's about $2.50 for 2 pounds of clothing! So along with another pile of clothing I found some beautiful, soft vintage curtains. Here is the end result.
