Here's the question, what piece of art, or garment, do you wish you had kept? After I read Lord of the Rings in high school, (4 decades ago plus) I pieced a shell blouse with red cotton prints and plaids, and then embroidered my favorite quotes on it in dark blue floss. I can still see it in my head. I would really like to open it up and finish it as a quilt, alas, it is long gone.

The lime green Italian silk dress I made nearly 50 years ago! There were three widths of fabric in the skirt ... Of course I wasn’t quilting then but there was enough fabric to recycle into a blouse or something ...

I made a floor length dark grey wool cape in high school. Over the
years, I embroidered and wrote stories on the lining. When I left home
at 20 (it was summer), the cape was hanging in the hall closet and I
didn't think of it. When it finally occurred to me that I had
forgotten it, my mother had thrown it away.

I had a hat of black feathers that was asymetrical , wrapping around,
clinging to the left side of my head, extending to the chin. So chic.

I wish I had kept my flag team uniform from my junior year of high school. It was a fitted royal blue princess seam jumper with contrast gold piping down the seams. There were splits in the short skirt length since we wore matching bloomers. There was a white bell sleeved blouse to go along with the jumper. I’d have liked to have it for a memorial quilt of my life.

Most of us made our own flag team uniforms, with the rest of the girls having their mothers sew them.

I don’t miss the white go-go boots, though! Marching in parades after the horses cured me of wanting white shoes of any kind.

Funny you should ask. I keep thinking about the jeans turned skirt that I embellished with stars and put a rainbow in the insert. Loved that skirt and wore it everywhere. Just have no idea where or when it vanished but I dream of seeing some young thing wearing it after she purchased it at Goodwill!

When I was moving 7 years ago, I came across a small quilt top that I had
hand sewn for my new baby sister when I was 17. I had pieced together
squares of pink and blue prints from housecoats that my mother had made for
my other sister and I. I knew nothing about quilting, and didn't know
anyone who did at the time, so I tucked it away. I was so happy to have
found it. Then one day after the move, I went to get it so I could quilt it
for my baby sister's daughter to play with. I can't find it anywhere. I
have no idea what I did with it. Maybe I will find it someday. Maybe it
hasn't really gotten away yet. It would be nice to find it before my niece
(7) has a daughter of her own!

I just remembered a fabulous white fur jacket that my sister had worn to prom c. 1964. It was a very Jackie O style: boxy, 3/4 sleeves with a little rabbit collar. The jacket itself was faux lambskin--that curly stuff-and lined in a gold satin.
When she left home after college, my mother kept it for many years...but somewhere along the line it was given away, I suspect. I really wish I still had it--it would be fabulous to wear out to dinner.

It is easy to know the answer to this, but painful to recall...1. My Mom's
circa 1947 wedding suit (at least I got to wear it at their 40th
anniversary party) and 2. The Pucci tie I purchased for my Dad in 1971 in
Italy at THE Pucci shop...my best guess is that my sister sold them at the
estate sale....Yes, I was there helping, but I thought the suit would be
safe in "set aside" closest. ; (
