Found inside a pattern today - Cindy writes to Mom.

I love the things I find inside patterns...here's a letter from Cindy asking her Mom to sew some shifts for her. It's undated, but she included $4.00 to cover the making of 3 shifts, fabric, notions and shipping!
I hope she got nice decals for the crib.


Here is the pattern she sent to her Mom...pretty cute!

  2. "Perhaps you would like to make one shift from it. View 2 is perfect."

    People always know how to make it sound like they're doing you a favour by making you sew for them!

  3. This totally made me tear up. Makes me really happy about my daughter's little requests, which I think I should now start saving. She's five and has been drawing her dream kindergarten wardrobe for her momma to get started on already!

  5. How cute.. wow, your shopping habits in your profile sound so ideal... I love finding new op shops in out-of-the-way places, I'm sure you stumble on gold all the time!

  7. I remember being a young military wife and expecting my first. My mom sewed for me and mailed tops to me. We lived in California and of course my folks were here in East Texas. Thanks for the memories! (That 9 months is actually when I decided to learn to sew on an old second hand singer.)
