When my eldest daughter was a little girl (she's 29 now) she was my Sasha pal. I came across a couple of photos she took so thought my friends here might like to see them. In the one above, it was clearly Heather's birthday party :-) From left the dolls were James, Andrea, Natalie, Sam, Heather, Alberto and you can just see Elizabeth's hair. The only one still here is Andrea.
Andrea and Heather doing a spot of busking. Andrea's Tiered Yoke Dress was made for me by Evalyn Stiles and the pattern was in Friends of Sasha Vol 6 Number 3 Fall 1994
My daughter and I had many happy hours sewing together and here are some of the things she made, some all by herself and some with a little help
As you can see she was very fond of this skirt pattern, and every Sasha had to have a matching school skirt :-)
Happy times :-)
There's nothing that lifts the spirits like seeing that distinctive purple packaging peeking out of the postbox - it means goodies from DollyDoodles have arrived - YAY!
Cody and Sadie both got adorable new outfits, so at least there was no sulking. Here we are in my Mum's lovely garden this afternoon.
The Irish weather was doing its four seasons in one day trick, so we went from cloudy and dull, to bright sunshine to rain, and round again, so please excuse the varied lighting in these photos
So, two very lucky babes, and that's not all ....
Also in the postbox was this lovely Sasha Wardrobe blue sleeveless dress (thank you Dee!) which suits Alison so well. And for Andrea a sweet dress from Jadzia (skibniewska_1960 on Ebay) which she is wearing with JJ sandals that go perfectly with it. We're all feeling very lucky today
After we'd finished the photo session, Mum and I had a cuppa and she started teaching me how to knit with different colours, weaving the yarn across at the back - I think I'm getting the hang of it :-) A good day indeed
