And even better is the fact that MOM was the one to execute my great idea.  I am NOT a seamstress.  I can sew, but I cannot sew clothing.  Well, it’s probably better to say that I choose not to sew clothing.  I would guess that with practice, I could do a creditable job, but why would I when Mom is so much better than I at fiddly stuff like zippers and bias bound armholes and hems…

And what a cute job she did, too.  When the skirt fabric came into the shop I just knew it needed to be a dress for my 14-month old niece.  That tiny rickrack was my idea, too.   Aren’t I clever?

Hey Deb, it’ll be in TOMORROW”S mail.  Pinky swear promise.  Matt’s socks will be in the package, too.
