". . . when we say that the Church is a family, we mean it quite literally. The Church is not a reflection of the reality that is "family"—quite the opposite. The family is a reflection of the reality that is the Church." -Fr. Robert Johansen
Ballerina birthday
I made her a leotard and ballet slippers as a birthday gift (the skirt was a thrift store find). The slippers took three attempts until I got them right but the end result was good. She loves them so that’s what matters. The leotard was a bit small on her though. Since it was a surprise I wasn’t able to try it on her ahead of time. Turns out she’s not as tiny as I think she is.

The leo and ballets are adorable! Having made a swimsuit long ago, I do remember the difficulty of the leg and neck openings and am not sure I’d want to attempt that again. You make it look beautiful (and easy!).

Wow! You MADE that? I can barely sew Boy Scout merit badges onto the sash…
I’m always in awe of people who can sew. Bet she loves it.
I second Barb when I say wow! You made that? They both look purchased. I only knew you made the shoes because you told me you did, but it never occurred to me that maybe you made the leotard. It looks purchased! Great job!
