    Happy Birthday to mum and girls. :) They look beautiful in their new specially made garments by mum. Well done, Nicole! It's fun to see your take on the patterns with the special twists. The girls look very happy and pleased with their new birthday garments. Enjoy!

    Lovely girls. I love their accessories. And they sure look grown up.
    The stripy socks and the boots really make that outfit, and I love the Class Picnic tunic with the belt.

    Happy belated birthday to your sweet stylish girls. It looks like they had a very fun day. I love their birthday clothes and it's wonderful to see how you're able to adapt patterns to suit their developing styles. Lucky girls :-)

    Seriously, their clothes are one-off, designer originals, custom made. It won't be something they outgrow; their tastes may change, but if they are interested in clothes and styling, your skills will be in demand.

    Wow,what a lovely thing to say!
    Serendipitous to as I took the girls for a browse through a chain store today to get an idea of what they like!

    Thank you for your lovely comment!
