I made it, using home made cumquat marmalade, and it went down a treat, served warm from the oven with a pot of tea. Mick then requested it be warmed and served with ice cream the next day. That went down a treat as well. I think it will be made often, as it is so quick and easy. Thanks again.

I only made myself long elastic waist banded skirts back in the 90s and a couple of things for the girls with the help of a friend who inspired me after a very bad experience in sewing class at school back in tge 70s. It is a miracle I ever sewed anything after that. I enjoyed the episodes of that show when it was on tv and need to find it again. Rafaella is a gorgeous model! Loooove her sweet dress. A total different experience with boys lol, You and Blossom are a good team. I am going to see if I cam convert the Matrimony slice into an alternative grain and dairy free slice. Wish me luck.

You...What a beautiful dress your daughter has made. You are exactly right about her craft in sewing. She is gifted. I love the piping and that yolk is special,too. Color selection is very pretty. Rafaella looks adorable wearing it.<br />I use to sew for my daughters and myself. Simplicity and McCall's patterns were my favorites. I did use some Butterick patterns as well as a few Vogue. Like you, I did it because I enjoyed sewing so much. Now, I mostly sew toys, or dolls, for the grand kids.Dotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555081712708645426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-88950974583403705082021-02-13T03:10:47.953+10:002021-02-13T03:10:47.953+10:00Ah, how I'd love to live close and come over f...Ah, how I'd love to live close and come over for a chat and some stitching!

I grew up knowing how to sew, and made my own and my kids' clothes for years... until they reached about 14 years old. Then I was only called upon to make an occasional prom dress. Now I sew only for me, though I don't go through clothes as I once did. I hope you enjoy your experience with this top. It looks cute! As for Rafaella and her darling dress... just adorable! I think it's marvelous that you collaborate with your daughter this way. It's sure not easy to do when it's a boy you're dressing, so keep collaborating on your stitching and sewing while you have the opportunity! Thanks for links to the bread and matrimony cake, the latter of which I'd never heard of. That name is a hoot! It certain prompts wonder about the story behind the name. In any case, I'm glad you had a chance to tea and chat, IRL, with a friend. Oh, those were the days. Sigh.
