Curtains that once graced the windows of the royal bedroom have been turned into Christmas stockings to be auctioned off for charity.
Curtains from Sandringham House in Norfolk have been recycled into 25 stockings by a sewing bee group.
Its members meet at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, where the charity The King’s Foundation is based, to raise funds.
Sarah McClymont, 31, lead tutor with the bee, said: “It was a real honor for her to be given the opportunity to work with such a historically important fabric and she is very proud of how the stockings turned out.”
One stocking will be given to King Charles III as a Christmas gift, while the other 24 will be auctioned off for charity.
The King’s Foundation provides opportunities for people to learn practical heritage skills and focuses on sustainability.
Ms McClymont said Bee’s latest project “demonstrates The King’s Foundation’s commitment to craftsmanship, responsible design and sustainable fashion and textiles”.
He added, “We hope that whoever is lucky enough to win one of the stockings at the auction will cherish it as a family heirloom for decades to come.”
Group members spent six hours crafting each stocking using hand embroidery, piping and seam-matching skills.
Christine Wilson, 72, and Andrea Middlemiss, 63, from the nearby town of Cumnock, had never sewn before joining the group.
Retired finance executive Ms Wilson joined when the bee was first set up, and cafe worker Ms Middlemiss signed on six months later.
“We’ve worked on lots of different ideas over the last few years and we’ve learned a lot from teachers,” Ms Wilson said.
“They’ve been excellent. It’s a great community-based organization.”
Her friend, Ms Middlemiss, said she now knew how to make dresses and jackets, and described the latest commission as an “honour”.
The charity auction is open until 17:00 GMT on Friday 12 December.
