I get so much inspiration from your posts and as we near the end of yet another year, I want to thank you for sharing so freely and encouragng so many of us. One of these days, I swear, once my joint replacement are behind me, I am going to run with all the inspiration you inspire and finally start making the wardrobe I want in the colors and styles I want. I no longer go out to work so I don't need a lot but it will be nice not to just settle for what I can find in the stores. I have started to follow so many wonderful sewing blogs through your own blog and I will forever be grateful to you for lighting that spark for creating when it has been so long dormant. (PS: Did you get my email about the fabric I want to send you?)<br />Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. How nice they get to share in your creativity and generosity. Miss Sammy's dresses remind me of a wonderful, similar pattern from the 60a that came with instructions to applique critters from the Pooh stories. Another pattern I used a lot for Megan was a similar shape as Miss Sammy's but criss-crossed in the back and buttoned on the shoulders. Thanks again for everything.
