Let's Talk About.....Astrid

Astrid is the classic shaped denim jacket, and the fabric is a cotton mix, with a tiny bit of elastane, just to give it a little stretch. She is a soft pale pink, with shiny chrome metal stud buttons, and has 2 different pretty rose fabrics adorning her.

The lighter rose fabric was originally a summer dress worn by my Rosie when she was about 5. It was passed on to her by my lovely friend Mary, after her daughter Laura had grown out of it. It had short sleeves, a plain neckline with no collar, a slightly gathered skirt at the waist, and little wooden buttons down the front.

Daughter number 3, Jojo, wore it occasionally, but not as often as Rosie did, and after Jojo grew out of it, I cut it up and added it to the pile.

When I chose this fabric for Astrid, to my surprise, there was the spare button still attached to the skirt seam. A small glimpse into it’s previous life. It’s now being passed on to at least it’s 4th owner. What a life!
