Perfect! I love it. These colors are so great with her.
It was an especially nice linen hanky – I am glad it worked out so well!
Just perfect for a garden party on Jubilee day! Lovely and delicate dresses and pinafore!
Thanks! Unfortunately it is raining…we might have to have our Jubilee Garden Party indoors!
So pretty! Henrietta looks adorable.
Thanks! I think she is pretty adorable too!
Oh Gorgeous! We love our pretty pinnies! Perfect for tea parties. So nice to see civilization thriving in the North.

Hello from the chilly rainforest to the balmy jungle! We are thriving indeed, and we think everything is better after a tea party!
Yes, what lovely garden party outfits the little ladies are adorned with. Your aprons are delightful and so crisp!
Linen is one of our favourite fabrics to sew with! All my little ladies love linen!
That’s such a beautiful way to honour the handiwork that went into those items. And I didn’t know that drawn thread work was also known as faggoting. Makes perfect sense when I think about it
