I often wonder what memories my children will retain and cherish from their childhoods, and how they will remember "home" and the way we live. I often wonder if I embarrass them with my creative, slightly off-centre ways. I often wonder if we should be giving them wider horizons and bigger experiences. I often question whether I am doing a good enough job.<br /><br />For what it's worth I adore the patchy dress, I would LOVE one myself! You sewing always leaves me inspired.<br />Lots of lovexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAttic24https://www.blogger.com/profile/05276400306932560082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-32701187182314090912012-12-14T17:38:01.948+11:002012-12-14T17:38:01.948+11:00this post makes me laugh, Kate!

This post is so sweet, I have two little girls and I think about these things so often....though not the handmade dresses part, because truth be told I'm useless with a machine, but somehow I have managed to inspire two crafty little kiddos.

I remember going to the fabric clearance center and picking out fabric for our dresses. As a young girl in the 1970s, some of the prints were wild! At the time, I only thought of her as thrifty.

I've been following your scrappy dresses for some time now and have to ask: do you use patterns or do you pull these patterns out of your own creative mind? I would love to use up my fabric scraps like this too, but I would appreciate just a little guidance. Maybe, pretty please, you could do a quick tutorial on the next Miss Pepper dress you make--or just let us know which pattern you use (if you do use one).

They have since been worn by various foster kids and my fourth child, I adopted when they had grown up. I am hoping they will be worn by grandchildren. So far I have just two grandsons.

I'm sure they will giggle about it all then they will not much later start doing the very same things themselves. When they unpack those little dresses in a few years, all the love sewn into them will come rushing out. I can remember in vivid detail the velveteen rabbit my mum sewed me and I still have the Jemima doll to this day. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-81683844552330369842012-12-07T19:55:12.999+11:002012-12-07T19:55:12.999+11:00So lovely, of course they will look back on them f...So lovely, of course they will look back on them fondly and adore them.

However, I can't see Miss Pepper looking back on these photos with any feeling but profound love, at how much her mother loved her children. It shows in everything you do! I just wish I had a daughter, I would dress her in a million of these dresses in a heartbeat.<br /><br />I do spend hours studying my boys, feeling little thrills run up my spine when I catch glimpses of the fine men that they are growing into.
