Spots and Stripes

Holly’s outfit

Holly went with her young human to have a sleepover at a friend’s house. The two nine-year-olds got together some scraps, scissors, needles and thread, and together produced this wonderful outfit for Holly!

Holly loves her striped pencil skirt, which just pulls on and stays up, but young human hoped grandma could help put fastenings on the polka-dot shirt!

  1. it is wonderful to know there are are still 9 yr. olds who still want to stitch – and grandmas who want to teach them. Holly looks lovely in her spots and stripes, as does the young human in her tiger top.

  2. I was amazed and delighted…it was wonderful to see young human’s pride and delight and very endearing to see how Holly’s paint is chipping – it means she is played with!
