My Granddaughter in a Bonnet

This is the Abigail Patterned Bonnet I have for sale on this site. This is Lillybeth's own bonnet.
My girls were all so fair I wasn't sure how she would look in this bonnet, but I love it on her.

A Garden Shot


English Rose

This floral print was sent to me by a very good friend who lives in England. 
There was one meter and it was so my style, but I hadn't a clue what to make with it.
That was 19 years ago.
I made this little size 2 dress for my now 18 year old, and is shown here on my granddaughter,( 18 months old) who would not sit still for any pictures!
The patterns is Sweet Pea by the Garden of Smocking ( out of print)
The smocking my own design using colours from the dress.
