My sister, who was taught the basics of sewing, same as I was, is very good at buying gorgeous fabric and an equally gorgeous pattern, pretending to start sewing it right under mum's or my nose, and obviously never going to finish it. And lo and behold mum or I or both of us have taken over, just as I'm sure she planned (or maybe just hoped!) all along :-D<br /><br />Anyway, that's a masterpiece from start to finish, fairy godmother. If I couldn't sew myself, I'd be asking you to sign on as my fairy godmother too, except actually, I could share my sister's fairy godmother aka our own mum!Tropical Threadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577923650038624948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-6684411926505418702018-06-18T14:56:49.527+10:002018-06-18T14:56:49.527+10:00Wow!

Do you think there is maybe a ploy at hand... tell Mum I'm going on the internet to buy a dress.... (as if) and then knowing you could never let her do this, the offer comes??? Very cunning! :)<br />Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-47558727972739000652018-06-17T16:18:14.827+10:002018-06-17T16:18:14.827+10:00Lovely dress, beautiful daughter, sounds like you ...Lovely dress, beautiful daughter, sounds like you had a wonderful time sewing it for her.SewRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277062926597842242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-70288107114406137032018-06-17T16:17:54.413+10:002018-06-17T16:17:54.413+10:00It's gorgeous!
