I can remember a time when my daughter was hell-bent on only wearing store-bought garments. Now at 24, she is asking me more and more to make her items of clothing, because she realises that the fabric and style she has chosen give her a uniqueness, never mind the cost-saving aspect and getting a good fit. <br />"Bonne route" Carolyn and Cassie!Riannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026719279705687146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-7358544078039537682012-12-19T00:22:56.042+08:002012-12-19T00:22:56.042+08:00A lovely ensemble and model.
