“My Pretty Blue Dress” {per CL}


Collars, Etc: Shoulder Button Bishop

This child!

She’s only been talking about “my pretty blue dress” {pattern: Trudy Horne‘s Shoulder Button Bishop, Creative Needle} for months now . . .

You see, we asked her to try it on prior to completion – to check hem length, fit, etc.

Then, she wouldn’t “let it go” . . . the concept of the dress, not the dress itself.

For the record: She IS the middle child.

And, as many middle children know, new clothes are sometimes few and far between.

While she is always a welcome recipient of her sister’s outgrown clothes, there is just something special about something sewn “just for her.”

Once the dress was completed, she beamed . . . while touching each and every imperfect bullion cabbage rose around the neckline stating, “there’s flowers on the back too!”

And then came the “thank yous”, over and over and over again.

She kept a watchful eye on her dress through the weekend she stayed with us, even hunting it down at times . . . just to make sure it WAS going to be returning home with her.

Therefore, we are awarding “The Most Appreciative Customer” to . . . CL!
