Bridesmaid
dresses. What to do with them once the confetti throwing, cake cutting and granddad dancing is over. You can hardly chuck them on again when the weekend rolls around and go out for a boogie. What might have wedding radiance on the day may not be the best thing to wear while throwing shapes on the dance floor of a sweaty Hoxton club.
A fine idea for wedding outfit repurposing is this rather lovely ruffled rose pillow I stumbled across on Craftzine.
Samantha Baldwin's two-part pattern waltzes you through making the actual cushion cover and then going all flouncy with the ruffle. There's a clear and concise photo slide show to make sure you get it just right too.
A rosy glow to your home and no more space taken up in the wardrobe by all those purposeless ruffles. A whole new life for a dress that thought it was bound for moth balls. Very cool.
