I think she has good visualising skills so she is not disappointed with the results. I am very lucky with her, having your sewing rejected can be very hard on your sewing back bone.<br />Thank you!<br />xx Nmotherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-59434906689966829942017-05-23T15:11:21.324-07:002017-05-23T15:11:21.324-07:00Oh Nicole!!!

Just gorgeous - the fabric, the vintage pattern (swoon!), the tucks, the removable hood, the perfect buttons (soft pink!!!! ahhhh!), there's just so much to love about this. And when I got to Liddy's comments about it? She is a lucky girl, but you are a lucky mum! Knowing how to graciously thank people is an art, and she's got it!

It's similar to a Japanese pattern I have but I don't think that one is lined so I just can't go there. Love this so much, and how well that girl praises her mum!
