huge sense of achievment

Post: # 58351Post mrsflibble »

I've just discovered how easy it is to make baby clothes. I'm not going to go all out and only ever dress sophie in stuff made by me, nor am I going to give up my charity shop bargain hunts but I am so proud of this dress.

I'm especially proud of the smocking. it took me days lol! Also, it's a good bit of recycling. this started life as a pair of curtains in the bottom of a jumble sale.

I suppose my housework did suffer for a few days (once i get going I'm like a dog with a bone) but we're back on track now!
oh how I love my tea, tea in the afternoon. I can't do without it, and I think I'll have another cup very
ve-he-he-he-heryyyyyyy soooooooooooon!!!!

Smocking is such hard work and it has come out beautifully

You have every right t o be proud of yourself - a beautiful dress on a beautiful little girl - well done you!!!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
