Strawberry Print Denim

Once upon a time there was a pair of strawberry print denim pants that were never worn. They were carefully made by a loving mother, but alas, they never went past the drawer. Poor strawberry print denim pants. They never knew their father! Well, maybe they did, but that's beside the point.


The pants languished, far from the light of day. They travelled from drawer to drawer, but never left long enough to be worn. Until one day, another mother pulled them from their obscurity, and looked at them with a new light. 

Maybe, just maybe, this strawberry print denim was never meant to be pants at all. Maybe, if the strawberry print denim took a new and different from, it could reach and fulfil it's potential. No more would it be left in a drawer, but actually taken out and worn! 


So, with a new vision for the strawberry print denim, the mother carefully cut, pinned and sewed. Low and behold, the strawberry print denim became new! No longer confined to a life on unworn pants, but a pinafore dress with pockets! 


Unfortunately, despite now being a fabulous strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets, it still languishes. Though the mother tried to make a size three strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets, the end result was closer to a size five. And the almost size five child that lives in the house did not like the strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets, for reasons completely unknown.


And so the strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets waits some more. Until the little three year old girl who lives in the house that it was originally made for grows up just a little bit more. Then maybe it will get to see some of the brilliant light of day.

On a side note, the mother made the strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets out of the red material that turns every thing else red if you wash it in the washing machine together with other things. Luckily for everyone, the mother also remembered this before any colour changing washing occurred and managed to wash the strawberry print denim pinafore dress with pockets separately so it will not be responsible for any colour changing incidents in the future.

The end.
