I guess she finds it quite comfortable now and perhaps the waistband was a bit big for her before.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-73038196488434575632013-11-04T10:36:14.587+10:002013-11-04T10:36:14.587+10:00You brought back a memory or two with this post. ...You brought back a memory or two with this post. I remember the Knit Wit era, used to go to the Wentworthville store. <br /><br />When I first started sewing I made my 2 year old niece a black spotted circular skirt, stretch fabric, just on a wide elastic waistband. She loved it, one day I went over and she was wearing it, it was 5 years later. She grown taller but it still fit her around the waist.

Every year as I grew taller she would sew layers of lace on the bottom of my long dresses :) The circle skirts are gorgeous and in fashion for the teenagers as well now I notice.

Our little someone lives in Tasmania and unfortunately her Mum doesn't see handmade in the same light as I do! Yes I remember being a "certified knitwit". I am sewing two knitwit dresses for my Mum at the moment.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511242657757784812noreply@blogger.com
