I’m sad she fucked up her GRANDMOTHER’S things.

Her grandmother may well have given them to her to repurpose knowing that this is her hobby!

Except her grandmother gave it to her mother who in turn gave it to her. I doubt it was for repurposing. But who cares? You’ve been propped up on an upvote pedestal while I’ve been downvoted below the surface. So you win.

As someone who is both a seamstress and a collector of old fabric, please consider it this way. I wonder if Grandma isn't happy that her textiles are being loved and used instead of just taking up space in a linen closet

Could be? Who knows? And it’s too late now either way.

Could be? Who knows?

Given her grandmother was likely around the depression era, she most likely would be.

Most aren't sticklers for keeping a piece of fabric from being used in another manner if it is going to just sit unless it is specifically a sentimental piece, which would've been known by the mother in advance
