Your little girl looks gorgeous in it. I think it is wonderful that you sew. I grew up with my grandmother sewing and I have only learnt now as an adult from my grandmother how to sew. I have a long way to go but I love every moment and the sense of satisfaction when you complete a project does not in any way compare to shopping! I think it is also wonderful to teach children that in this day of instant gratification that learning to wait, having patience is a wonderful quality to carry you through life and that is precisely what you are modeling to your children and might I add, your husband :)Nikki Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061038678819861999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-59557240578679741402012-05-08T14:36:35.427+10:002012-05-08T14:36:35.427+10:00I love it Tania!

It seems to be these days that it doesn't matter what the problem is or what we need/want we can only achieve it by throwing money at it.

And so snug for her..plus you could never find a pure wool dressing gown in those chain stores, I suspect they would, in all of their acrylic nastiness, fall apart after just one season.<br /><br />This gown that you have created will be around for much longer..one day keeping little Violet cosy from the frosty chills. Wonderful! Love the colour too..very pretty. <br /><br />Oh and one more thought - wool is so much safer by the fire or heater, so an extra thumbs up for you!! :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204291906401193716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-72208017899485040672012-05-07T10:58:54.158+10:002012-05-07T10:58:54.158+10:00Looks good to me Tania!
