Meet Flo! Back in the day she was a sun worshipping babe who was stylin' with her pound of wooden pink and orange buttons tied into fringe around her top edge and handles and pink cotton drawstring lining. She spent a couple of summers soaking up the rays in Florida and South Carolina before she was relegated to the garden shed where she held trowels, seed packets and bug spray until someone finally donated her to a local thrift store.
Once we got her from under all of those buttons, we saw a slightly lopsided faded beauty with a lot of potential. She got a wash all over in light lavender that would let the pink show through to her best advantage. The lining was replaced with a textured purple lycra, but we couldn't resist keeping the drawstrings from the original. Stitched into three sides are yellow flower tapestry patches and on the remaining side is a lovely tapestry-stitched purple heart.
