Woman Stunned After Her Granddaughter Found Her Fashion School Designs From 1940 And Recreated Them

Published 2 years ago

During pandemic times most of us were safely tucked away at home, dabbling in arts and crafts hobbies to alleviate the boredom. Meanwhile, some folks decided to take time out of their lives to engage in wholesome visits with their grandparents before it was too late.

One such 27 Y.O. is a Tiktoker by the name of Julia, who shared her own discoveries of her senior’s secret talents during one such trek to her grandmother’s in 2021. She barely knew how to sew but when she stumbled across her Grandma’s clothing sketches, she was inspired to bring the designs to life as best she could. Scroll below to see how she did in her efforts of bringing Nana’s designer dreams to life which has now amassed over 21 million views.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
