A laurel made from secondhand sheets and lace.
Here in Benin, old lace tablecloth/curtains are used everywhere: hairnets, coverings for food so flies don’t come in, privacy curtains at doors and windows, and more.
What I enjoy more is buying the lace. In the US, we throw out things that are in perfectly good condition, but where do they actually go? One answer is Africa, where our unwanted stuff is resold in piles on the streets here. It’s fun to “thrift” for the fabric here and then make something out of materials originally destined for the trash.
I bought a lace sheet and a curtain sheet to line it with, however since the lace was already heavy this dress is very thick and more suited for winter. I finished the edges with bias tape facing & added pockets because they’re just too useful to leave out.

Praying mantis exoskeleton - this one floated down from a tree I was walking under - my place is starting to look like a Secondhand Clothing store.
My apologies to anyone who is not familiar with the term 'exoskeleton'.
Definition of exoskeleton:
An exoskeleton is what is left after an insect, spider or hermit crab have finished moulting.
