Today I received a lovely package from a lovely lady...
...and in it was a beautiful nightcap which she painstakingly re-created for me from an engraving. It fits perfectly, by the way...and looks so wonderfully authentic
I will post more of it as soon as I can get my darling husband to take some pictures of me wearing it.
But there was more!...

But there was more!...
...the sweetest little baby dress for my firstborn, in a darling calico print. What a perfect little dress it was!...but there was even more!...
...a little bundle containing a baby bonnet -- in matching fabric to my nightcap -- to cover the new little head! With dainty little lace embellishments, I simply can't wait to get photos of my baby in this outfit.Sarah, it was such a wonderful surprise to find this in my mailbox just now. You are indeed an exceptional seamstress and I can't even begin to express my gratitude and happiness. These are the first little "civil war" items for my babe and they will be cherished -- believe me -- for many years to come.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

What lovely clothes! I love beautiful, homemade garments where every inch was sewn with you in mind! Sarah is a wonderful, gentle soul; I love her to pieces!

I'm so glad you like them! :) They were so fun to make. I am so relieved that your cap fits you! I was worried about that aspect more than any other. Since I made the pattern based on myself, our heads must have similar measurements. :)
So precious and sweet! I hope your little one gets lots of occasions to wear them!
