A couple hours after finding the perfect sewing machine (at $24.99, you bet it’s perfect!), my dear, sweet friend, Sandra, brought me these:
I’ve only ever used her Gingher’s…now I have my very own!
The patterns are absolutely adorable, as well! Two nightgown patterns, pinafore and shirtdress, petticoats, bloomers and chemises…I can’t wait to get started!
We shared a lovely pot of Harney and Sons Chocolate Mint tea and much needed fellowship! It had been a whole day since we had last seen one another! She is a real doll, and as sweet as her gifts are, they don’t come even close to matching how precious her friendship is to me.
I love you, my friend!
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 27 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

How wonderful! She is indeed a dear friend! Those patterns are so cute and the dress you found is just lovely. I used to sew a lot myself and I do miss it.
Wonderful posts, Kimberly!
